Hi Bobbie!
If they grey chicks with the red heads are from my birds - you're going to get great color!!
I don't know about other lines, but I've had the most success from this chick down coloring!
Good luck!
We all know I'm terrible for pics, but the roos look just like any other typical color (at least mine do)
I have a really cute (white) columbian and already rehomed BC, black mottled, etc....
Hi all
Just wanted to say HI!
Have been totally busy with our new little boy!
Not planning on hatching until spring - working on culling down to the very best of the best.
Around here, gender doesn't seem to affect the short outer toe genetics (can't remember what Don called it...)
Now, if you're talking about BIGGER - my male chicks definitely have more bone than the girls, almost right from the start!
Hope that helps!
Thanks!
Once a week, every 2 weeks, monthly - when you notice a change - whatever works for you!
Either start a thread and give us a link
or right on thread and compile once in a while, so we can see the progress!!
I'm having lots of luck with this color down, so, hopefully, you can show...
Great pics again Country Boy!
AMY - the chicks in Country Boy's pics are the coloring I was talking about (greyish with red/brown heads)
I'm having lots of luck with this color chick down!!
Country Boy - will you do us all a favor and keep a photo journal of one or two of those...
Great!
Should be going through them soon - maybe next weekend?
This weekend was pre-breeding season maintenance for the goaties, next - sorting the birds!
Oh...hmm....well - I was breeding for more size, so brick-like might be an improvement...??
Advice - anyone??
I think his tail will come up as he grows up?
Most of my younger ones keep their tail down when they're in the bachelor pad with the older boys! (smart!)
As for the leg...
Only if *I* win haha
NO DQs - they ALL have feathered legs (or will have after they finish feathering out from their juvie molts!)
2 guys do have lighter legs, but not pink (or yellow)
p.s. what are you seeing that makes you think he looks like a RIR?
The only breeds I have here are BCM...
and a couple roo hopefuls!
Have a bunch more, but snapped these guys quick!
This guy was super cute, but he got grabbed by a racoon 2 nights ago- he was missing all day yesterday, but came home today, looking a bit worse for the wear.
He lost most of the top of his cushion - at least half...
Hi all
Your pretty pics inspired me to snap a couple quick pics of my grow out pens!!
These girls are all from this spring and early summer!
There are 4 or 5 like this girl
There are 3 like this girl, plus the one Reyvaughn (Bobbie) has!
black mottled in the back is a hen from Amy...
