The Pita Pinta Asturiana

[chickengr]

unfortunately the chick died (at a week old). the unhatched eggs had chicks in them just didn't make it. I have 2 eggs due to hatch around monday. not sure if they will hatch as a bourbon red turkey managed to enter the coop where my broody is and broke silkie eggs (with chicks). 2 pita pinta and 1 silkie eggs are still there but they were cold when I found a turkey there. not much hope.

I found this:

There are around 21 lethal gene mutations in birds. Most of these lethal genes lead to chicks’ death during the incubation period. However, congenital tremors and congenital loco cause the death of chicks within a week of hatching.

I am so sorry....I know that it is a horrible feeling. Been there Done that.
Perhaps the chick would have been sickly....look forward to next hatch.
Life happens.

I hope you all had a nice Christmas! My Pita Pinta Hens are still laying some eggs during their second winter. They are fairly good winter layers.

Hello Ron, How great your Pita Pinta Hens are still laying eggs. They are
such beautiful looking chickens. I SO MISS MY CHICKENS.

It as a bit different....but life must be lived as given. I am much better than I was
and BAKING WITH MY SOURDOUGH....is a super help. THANKS TO YOU.

Hope all is fine with you and yours....so nice to communicate. Fond regards, Aria

I love the Pita pinta Hens! They are smart and friendly.

I baked a no knead sourdough loaf on Sunday and yesterday I baked cinnamon rolls and and a chocolate cake for Christmas.

Sourdough is wonderful!
