    I can't believe I forgot to add the breed, I'll go back and edit my entry. He's a Belgian Watermaal which is a bantam.

    Brassy?

    I'm not as familiar with quail but it looks like just an immature quail to me not brassy. Do you have any updated pictures?

    Belgian Watermaal

    Going into lockdown and unfortunately the results are pretty bad, I had some issues with humidity early on in the process and it lead to many of the eggs quitting. Of the 14 eggs set only 1 developed, it was from Chucky and Owlet so we'll see what color this little one ends up being. Honestly as...

    Bald Headed Chick

    I saw this bird on Facebook, it looks really interesting! Like others have mentioned it could be a spontaneous mutation which could be really interesting to try to isolate. If possible you should keep breeding the parents and see if you can recreate it.

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    I use a plate for mine, I have three different brands because some family friends gave me theirs when they got out of birds. I like the TSC Producers Pride one, it's for sure the easiest to clean out of the three when the little nuggets decide to explore on top of it.

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    I worry about that happening in the NR 360 expressly having bantams so I always put a piece of shelf liner down at lockdown, it's worked pretty well for me so far.

    Belgian Watermaal

    After many setbacks my pens are officially set up with birds in them! No pictures since it's super rainy and overcast today and the light in there is terrible but the first two pairings are set up. In pen 1 we have Terran and Derby and in pen 2 we have Chucky and Owlet. I'll give it a few weeks...

    Belgian Watermaal

    Mother nature decided to keep throwing curveballs at me so I didn't end up getting my pens set up until today but I'll be putting birds in them tonight and will finally get to start collecting eggs in a few weeks for this season!

    16th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    I tried a different turner with this batch and I'm not sure if that's what caused it but I didn't have any eggs end up developing all the way.

    16th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    Our eggs can be SensorPush buddies! I think you're the first person besides myself I've ever seen use one.

    16th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    I've decided to do a fertility hatch from my Belgians since I keep having to put off setting up breeding pens so I'll be setting some eggs from my Watermaal and d'Anvers for the hatch-a-long!
