    Incubation process?

    I'll have to keep a sharp eye the temps and humidity, and perhaps a luck of the draw. I won't start this till April however as my hens need to stay away from the rooster for month so then I can do more selective breeding.

    Incubation process?

    I leave them be to hatch as I'm aware they can go a day or two from the food or water. We had a older incubator in the past so maybe that was the problem.

    Incubation process?

    Thanks for the links a tips! I'll look into it more and see where I'm doing it wrong. For feed for the hens I give them corn/layer mash, mealworms, and this nutrient/mineral bag that's packed with good stuff. They also are free range so they are finding things that they are possibly missing out

    Affects of the barred trait

    The father is a barred rock(pure) and the mother is a white color dominant hen. Therefore there was a codominant result with the two fusing together. So it's not a crele but a codominant offspring. The barred hens are Barred rock X light brown leghorn so they basically look like a barred rock...

    Affects of the barred trait

    I have this barred rock cross rooster who all I can say is crele looking or red barred but grey barred on the chest and tail. I can't send pictures so bare with me.

    Crossing half barred birds

    I have a Barred Rock x Game bird mix. He is slimmer and more gammy looking but he is barred crele looking. He's very pretty and as this spring approaches I'm wondering what the offspring would look like if I crossed him with Barred rock X leghorn hens and leghorns. If you can please share pics:)

    Unusual Barred Fusion

    I have a young cockerel that is brownish and reddish and parts are gray, but it's all barred. His father is a Barred Plymouth Rock and the mother is a mutt where she has a maroon chest and white on the rest of her body. Other chicks are the dark gray and Barred. But why is this cockerel brown...

    September hatch......

    My well known broody hen went missing a few weeks back. She showed up today with 12 chicks!!! But it's so late in the year. I live in Minnesota so winter starts before it technically starts. Any advice?
