    There was an unhatched egg left in the flower pot and it has a chick peeping inside so I stuck it in the Genesis to see if it will hatch. Dang Game hens and their unauthorized breeding. lol

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    An interesting thing happened just a little while ago. I was logging some patients from clinical today and heard a peeper peeping. I looked everywhere to figure out where it was coming from. I have been known at times (rarely) to forget to write down expected hatches on the calendar, so I...

    I need to see what a chamois spangled looks like. Sounds fancy. lol

    We are expecting more storms and tornado potential weather tomorrow. Apparently, tornado alley has shifted, and Kentucky is one of the states included in it. As soon as possible, we will be digging a storm shelter. :(

    Can't wait to see some Chocolate Gold Duckwings! That sounds amazing! As your hatching starts to ramp up, mine is slowing down. I am only collecting eggs from 2 pairs now, the Ameraucana pair and the Silver Ginger rooster over the Brown Leghorn hen. I have all of I think 7 eggs due to hatch...

    lol yeah. 😆 Here is a little cockerel that looks non-crested. I am curious to see how their combs end up looking.

    I took a few pictures when I wing banded the first set of Legbar x Leghorn chicks. I documented whether or not they had a crest. Even hetero mixed Legbar chicks display a small crest as chicks. Only 2 out of 5 show a tiny crest out of these. I would say my suspicion is accurate that the sire...

    Yes I believe I have read about a blue egg laying line of Brown Leghorns. They likely had Legbar influence I am assuming. @The Moonshiner ?

    Had a great hatch, only 3 Game eggs didn’t hatch out of everything in lockdown. Final hatch count: 6/6 Brown Leghorns hatched 6/6 Legbar x Leghorn hatched 2 Silver Ginger Games 1 Albany (duckwing colored) Game :wee However, one of the Brown Leghorn chicks has pretty bad crooked toes and...

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    One thing I have noticed about the Legbar x Leghorn chicks from the first group is that only maybe 1 or 2 out of the 5 look to be heterozygous for crest. The others look non-crested. If that is the case, the sire is only heterozygous for crest which makes perfect sense. He has a very straight...

    Got to leave work a little early due to low census and a few more chicks are hatched. Another Silver Ginger (this one has a full wheaten base), and a Brown Leghorn in one group, and a Brown Leghorn from another group with more eggs pipped. There are chicks in the mesh bags but I cant tell how...

    The only water snakes we see are when we are fishing. 😬

    I don’t blame you one bit there. We had a lot of copperheads where we used to live. Thankfully we don’t see many snakes other than rat snakes where we live now.

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    It was a very gentle snake and we hated to kill it. But it had claimed the chicken house as his own little Bed and Breakfast. It was stressing the hens out and eating a lot of eggs so my husband felt like he had to kill it at the time. I guess we could have taken it up the road and relocated...

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    Yes I have had many power outages over the years and usually it doesn’t affect the hatch rate too much unless the outage occurs during lockdown or is excessively long. We lost power one year with several dozen eggs in lockdown for like 12+ hours and literally only 1 egg out of those hatched...

    Yes bad storms and tornado warnings at night are so scary. Especially when I’m at work and not home with my family. There have been dozens of people that were found to have been killed by the tornados. And many people lost homes and businesses. The local airport was leveled, and a local...

    We had a rat snake that kept coming into the hen house and sucking eggs. Even though it was non-venomous and harmless my husband eventually ended up having to kill it because when he would move it, it kept coming back. 😢
