P5 The reason why I'm writing this down why the out come of chicks this year I had control cross with bad hen only 2 white chicks out of 12 eggs. 2 did not hatch 1 white other was just bad. The rest black with white. Well kept wondering why thinking white in leghorn would take longer to...
P4 That's why I want them, to sell eggs. so they were never in a breeding pen, lots of half SD Barnvelders, X rose comb ss hamburg and silver wyandotte.
The roosters from that hatch in 2025 were incomplete barring. kind ugly to me. But some lacing on chest with rose comb. Don't want...
P3 I have hatched about 10 eggs from her(bad one). Crossed with diff line I had been mixing with the SD Barnvelders. this is the really fun part of this to me. I can't wait to see how incomplete the barring will be.
I did get some of eggs in the incubator when my brother told me, that was...
P2 that means indoor, and boardum. those hens started peeking(about 10). so gave them to my brother except one. the bad one, she was kept with young rooster in pen of there own. the other 9 hens, 5of them went broody. HOOOO damn. should have kept them and given him the old leghorn hens...
P1 2026 first done, happy with out come. I've had nothing but trouble from incubators, your best one is a hen. So I must make more reliable broody hens. something I lost in last few years. Posting a pic with this. barred roosters are 1/2 french cuckoo maran and 1/2 silver double laced...
2025 spring, working with getting red out. and Co gen out. roster in pic 1and2 is 3/4 DSLB (double laced silver Barnevlder) last pic is 3/4 hen like roster. egg size and color are not good for what I'm looking for.
So what your saying is simply NO:fl
If she ends up braking all the eggs there is no point. I was trying to get a pic of two hens who broke all their eggs. But were great mothers, that took care of the chicks I ordered.
I know it's an old post. It is a new year now.
Did you hatch any eggs from the black hen with white on wings? I have about 4 hens like that, and will be breeding back both ways. the cross they came from SS hamburg hen X silver double laced barnevelder male.
new crosses will be crossed back the...
I cant seem to find "the-coop.org" any more. I did look through forums to see if I could find out what happened. I don't get to this site or the coop very often, kinda only when I need a little help. would really like to know if you have any info. Thanks so much FRANK
Well its been D* good so far. Only 3 frozen eggs. The chosen roster is showing signs of frost bite, I was unsure of how large his comb would be.
I've had to increse % of feed and give more whole corn and wheat which goes on straw slabs. that makes them work for it, since they won't go outside...
I did look at prev.posts. But didnt find any thing I can do right a way to help the chicken. Its a 3mon old chick,eyes swelled shot. 4 were hatched in Jan. I didnt thing the 10mon old hen would stick with it, but she did. I had to move around the inmates to make space for new hatch. So they were...
