My first red cuckoos were very heavy leg feathered. I culled them out. I still have leg feathers, but they are so much better.
I see cuckoo on that male..
Nellie,
Thank you for the pictures..It looks close to how I do it. (I hope)Sometimes those squirming screaming chicks make it hard..most chicks don't seem to mind one bit. I get wet fingers many time and end up laughing so hard from trying over and over. Poor little things look like soggy...
Those are Gold laced..

I have a question for those who do Mereks immunizations.
Have you tried to give it to older chicks? Adults?(I did) If you have, did you observe any weird...
Nice Cuckoos ..Nellie..you have such pretty birds..
I have a cuckoo egg in the incubator..I am checking fertility. She has only been laying for a month so I am not sure she is breeding yet. I have never seen signs of her interest to the male. She is such a pretty girl.
