Yeah man, really odd. You ever encounter some mutations or deformities in your chicks?

polydactylism.

a couple years ago, I posted a pic of a chick with an extra leg growing out its back, that's different though, I heard it was because it would have been a double yolker

Thanks for the proper name Jon.
I also joined Galleros del Mundo.
Mostly to look at chickens and there's a lot of info and good discussions on there.

I can only remember a couple crooked beaks, and a one eye, other than than that a few crooked toes. Incubator hatches, never with hen hatch.

I've had some crooked toes as well from the incubator

polydactylism.

Yes, Tex the pic you posted in on of the more common forms of polydacty. It is thought to be caused by an incomplete dominant allele. Your chick could be a one off mutation or one of the parents could be carrying it, but not showing it. Because it is "incomplete dominant", sometimes it shows and sometimes it doesn't as it can be covered by other limiting alleles.

I talked to my mentor, he says he rarely gets that polydacty in a chick from his Ruble line. The hens are definitely carrying it.

So you’ve narrowed it down to how many hens?? Lol single mating?

Trying any New crosses this year?

new trio sent to me today, pure Bennett Blueface over pure Bennett Greys. I love this stag, he's a little small but he's still young to, and one of these pullets is almost silver in color. The pullet in the middle.

 

[flypen]

how do y'all make your latches for your wire doors?

 

[centrarchid]

I use bungie cords.
