    Chicks drowned in toilet

    Yeah it's pretty amazing how close I can get to my chicks. There were mornings where the toilet lid had lots of poop on the toilet. As if they were trying to potty train. I have 2 older labs from guide dogs for the blind and the chicks will try to cuddle up with them (under the leg in the crotch...

    Chicks drowned in toilet

    I just woke up to a chick in the toilet. No rigor mortis yet and still one eye opened when I picked her out of the water. I tried to warm and dry, started compressions to get blood and oxygen moving (not even sure I was doing this properly or if it's right to try to keep the poor dying chick...

    BSL phenotypes

    Sorry that was confusing. The roo that was Welsummer X BR. The chicks are his. He is hybrid/BSL roo and gone. I'm curious about the new cross between welsummer/ BR Roo and BR hen and their baby chicks what could outcomes be hypothetically because I only hatched 2 of 3

    BSL phenotypes

    Another question. Could this cross come up with some brown barred chicks with the smaller amount of Welsummer in the Roo? Could I see more iridescent greens, purples and blues in the black from the welsummer? The roo is being digested by coyotes, but he was pretty with barring AND different...

    BSL phenotypes

    Thanks! So all black is certainly a pullet, and barring can be seen in both cockerel and pullet offspring so I'll have to wait and see. New question. Will the white spot on head and barring be more or less pronounced similar to pure bred BR for those chicks that are barred? Have I crossed out...

    BSL phenotypes

    Ive read a bunch of posts on welbars, BSL, and phenotypes all over the place. I'm not unfamiliar with punnett squares but struggling to figure out my (NON welbar) hybrid possibilities for phenotypes (I only hatched 2 eggs and want to know what other phenotypic characteristics could have popped...

    welsummer roo x barred rock hens

    Got it. A Welbar would be the welsummer X BR Roo that would be crossed with welsummer hens to simultaneously create gold laced and silver laced. Looking into the history and origin~~1940. I wanted light brown and dark brown eggs first so that I have varieties of browns to cross with...

    welsummer roo x barred rock hens

    So the original cross of a welsummer roo and BR hen was one welbar Roo, however that Roos offspring are not welbar? Or none of them are? The reduction in temp was from 38C to 37.7C, should I never do that? I was only incubating 2 eggs from different hens. I'm connecting dots now..... It COULD...

    welsummer roo x barred rock hens

    These chicks should be about 1/4 welsummer and 3/4 Barred rock.

    welsummer roo x barred rock hens

    Here's some pics of the fluffers. Like I said, the same parents. One has black feet and beak and no barring, other has yellow on feet and beak and barred.

    welsummer roo x barred rock hens

    I've started the same cross for welbars, however I crossed a welsummer roo X BR hen and hatched 2 eggs (was incubating lower temp for roosters and only 2 eggs; one welsummer roo X BR, one Welsummer roo X rhode island red, and both eggs hatched to Roos. I then took the welbar Roo and crossed...
