the chicks are OLD now! still in the brooder....but im worried about how ill put them into their new flocks. my OEGB are super small and not even a quarter of the size of my other guys. i dont that them getting hurt...thoughts?
I hatched sizzles and smooth and silked EE crosses.
The sizzles are 25% japanese bantam. I like it because it introduces more colors and larger tails, which avoids silked feathering.
This was my sizzle i decided to keep from this hatch.
i sold 8 of my HAL chicks saturday. i want to say i have 5 left now...i lost 3 within a few weeks of having them. i plan on starting my hens and selling them and keep 2 roos to watch grow.
now i cant wait to hath again! LOL
Not really...but coop pic! Her egg was so big she laid it with a little crack. It was about two times the size of her normal eggs! I still havent opened it yet...how exciting?!
So my cross EEs are silked! There is no silked in the bloodline that i know of...their mom is a cross but shows no silkie....and it was brother to sister breeding so i know most of their history except for what their grandmother was.
ANYWAY. I think i ended up with mostly roos
im thinking all 6 EE cross eggs i hatched i got roos. i got 2 roos from a Japanese cross and i think all sizzle roos....do i really have only one hen? not exaggerating. i think i have all roosters.
any ideas on how i can sell these guys? i was going to start some but what do i do with others?
I feel terrible. The brooder door slammed down hitting one of my tsc chicks and breaking its back. I think it broke another's toe. Omg im so done with today :'(
Am i jinxing myself?
Thanks :) im just worried now that my flock may have something or he babies have something and i may loose everyone :( fingets crossed. I fed them crushed red pepper flakes and garlic
hmm.. im not sure. i just found him laying in the pine right next to the heat plate. broke my heart and felt it being ripped out. i held him and petted him. ive has the worst luck so far these three weeks. lost two chicks, including the serama i was using to start my new lines, and i lost my...
here is everyone from the hatch except for my serama! i had one of my sizzles pass the other day,and now im paranoid that others may.
heres everyone and my TSC chicks in the brooder!
sizzles! im thinking 2 boys and 3 girls? i have no idea.
these three of levens chicks are smooth...
I use a heat plate. I put oitment on his bum and its looking better. I think its just swollen. Heres a pic before the oitment. He seemed alot better today with no poo
