We had a broody hen who changed her mind after sitting for a few days, so we grabbed her eggs and put them in the incubator. Last night the last one hatched.
We have the following in our flock:
Alpha roo - SLW
Roo - RIR
Hens:
SLW
RIR
BO
BR
Baby 1:
Solid black - we assume this is a girl...
My poor, sweet Pekin, Annabelle, has a foot issue that never goes away. We noticed she was limping last spring and found that her foot pad was very swollen and had a rock hard scab about the size of a dime. We did all the usual bumblefoot things except cutting her foot open. We also gave her...
This is Bizzy - one of our babies that hatched the last week of September. Mama is a BR, Daddy is likely our SLW alpha roo, but we do also have a RIR roo. I apologize for the poor photo quality, but s/he is - as the name suggests- very busy and hard to photograph. My money is on cockerel.
I joined about a year and a half ago, but I never posted my introduction.
Here is my flock:
Hens
3 BO
2 SLW
4 Barred Rocks
4 RIR
Roos
1 SLW (alpha)
1 RIR
1 cockerel, who we are 95% sure is from our SLW rooster and one of the BO hens
1 cockerel (we think) who we know is from a Barred Rock hen...
