This year I managed - twice already and I am working on the third time - to synchronize my incubator and a hen, so that to give her the chicks from the incubator. Of course this only works because I have a small NR360; when I start using my larger one, it won't be possible. But at least this...

Hi, this is a very impressive and informative lecture: thank you so much! Could you please advise what to read on color genetics? I hatched some blue and black Australorp and hope to hatch more, to have a flock; I would like to understand more about how they inherit color. I understand that what...

I am eager to see them!

Ah, I see! A gorgeous bird!

Such a beautiful bird, what's her breed? Sorry if it has been discussed, I could not find it.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I was really concerned about that hatch rate (10 out of 25), but I could see the eggs were not good, because I removed eight on the 7th day (fertilized but not developing) and then I removed more. And still, I was so uncertain that I did another hatch with...

I hope your beautiful JC recovers. And I am very sorry about the dead chick, unfortunately this happens a lot while they are young... I lost two of my precious chicks from those eggs that traveled and it was very sad. Now I only have eight out of 25. Hope your other chicks will grow strong and...

Hi, I have been reading your thread with great interest! May I ask you how long or far the eggs traveled and what is your incubator? I have had a really poor hatch rate in my NR360 this year with eggs that traveled just 250 km by car. The next hatch (from my hens) was much better, so I am...

My Australorp babies on a walk - hiding in lemon balm bushes. I love these babies, and who wouldn't?

Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken - Hanhyup pullet looking for new adventures

"Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" My Hanhyup-ho pullet marching towards new adventures and challenges.

My Jersey Giants (and crosses thereof) are on a walk in the garden. Their mother is watching nearby so they feel very safe.

Huh, thank you for the suggestion! Haven't used Yandex for years, but now I will give it a try. This is a new photo of one of the pullets.

Australorp babies, hatched on the 8th of April. I am not terribly happy with how they hatched and with their condition - the eggs traveled far and the hatch rate was low (10 out of 25, with 10 early quitters), the chicks hatched at 21-22 day and eventually two of them died, so I am left with...

Hi, so many beautiful birds here! And I don't have much to show, the babies are small (hatched on April 8), but I just want to revive the thread. I hope they are Australorp lol you never know for sure in my country.

Right, Hahnyap isn't a breed, but Hanhyup is (or a cross). What I am growing now isn't their crosses, they have Jersey sires and different mothers (Kuchinsky and Amrock and also what I suspect to be descendants of Lohmann Brown). With these young Hanhyup I will need to wait and see. They...

Thank you! Haven't weighted, unfortunately, as I am overloaded with other work. I just moved them to the fattening run and that's all for now. It is interesting that egger x Jersey crosses are larger than pure Jerseys at this point; maybe they are just faster growing. I agree with you, I might...

My Korean Hanhyap and JGs (and their crosses) are growing; they are about 10 weeks now. Tonight I am going to move all black chicks as well as Hanhyap roos to their own run for growing and fattening; I have no plans to use them for breeding. The red pullets will stay in the privileged area near...
