Looks great! Is that brown egg from one of this year’s pullets?
The grey egg is so special, I think I’ve only ever seen one hen that lays such a convincing grey. Those would look great in the Easter egg contest (or however it’s called)
I’m relatively new to the incubator game, this will be the fourth year with one.
I don’t hatch too much, and if I do, it’s just a single hatch each year.
Its capacity is 52 eggs, I believe. Never needed to hatch that many, though. Around the 20 or 30 egg mark is more than enough for us.
It...
Relatively hard to tell breed at this age. Most abandoned chicks are usually mixes, especially if you live in an area where there are feral populations, or male RSL chicks (which this little one isn’t).
I’m assuming that the friend does not have chickens, from which this chick could have come...
Well, no. Hardly shocking though. Even if it were a European or Greek event, as long as it has anything to do with sports, I wouldn’t be watching.
The only part of the superbowl I find remotely interesting is the halftime performance
Well, Cochins have feathered legs, and he doesn’t. Cochins don’t have that tail set or shape, but he does. Cochins have yellow skin, which it doesn’t look like he has.
Handsome guy though, for sure.
Congrats on your broody!
As BlindLenonChicken said, having a backup plan is important. Nothing is guaranteed when working with animals, and especially first time broodies.
I have had both positive and negative experiences with grafting/chick adoption. I much prefer giving the broodies the eggs...
Ah, I see. Very interesting.
Well, it is what it is. I can’t say the blue egg gene is what drew me to them. The rest lay green or brown eggs, so if the offspring start laying green eggs, it wouldn’t be the end of the world
Hello everyone, hope you’re all doing well this new year.
I’ve been MIA for most of the new year, after being sick, but hope you’ve all spent your holidays pleasantly.
Abpatchy, I’m very sorry to hear about all your troubles and with losing your LFs :hugs . As far as your personal life, freedom...
Ah, now that I should have probably figured :oops: ! Thanks!
The percentages sound pretty great actually. You’ll definitely enjoy this line, they sound fantastic!
That sounds great! Just about what I need.
What’s the landrace?
Also, I admit, I’m not sure what the sc gene is either :oops: .
Are the Brahma mixes home bred? I’d love to see a photo of them!
It sounds sort of like what we have here, though very different genes. One aseel x Brahma, her two 50%...
Now that is something I’ve never heard before :lol: ! Thank you!
I like to think that I’m somewhere in between, but I don’t think that’s how others would describe me.
Oh gosh, I made it super confusing, didn’t I:oops:? No structure to that whole block of text. Sorry!
I’m hoping it will be...
Spring time, and as such, chick time is slowly approaching. Rather, it isn’t really, but I much prefer thinking it is, rather than that whole winter-y mess going on outside :sick.
If I am to incubate this year, I need to source eggs before summer temperatures hit. An easter hatch sort of sounds...
