They just grow so fast! Even the late hatch still with mom are getting big. I think the large flight pens where they get lots of exercise flying back and forth and 28% protein feed makes the difference. Of course, the worming and cocci treatments keeping them healthy and letting them process...

You might recall Ray and his momma Dottie? Well they made some beautiful babies this year, here is a couple of them.

They would reject it because of the watermark. I am not entering any more.

They just grow so fast!

That is an interesting thought. So far I was chalking it up to be a 'Failure to Thrive' bird but so far Robin has been hanging in there.

Robin is a cock, he is small and worries us as to whether he is ok. He is slow to grow and stays to himself and sleeps a lot. I keep expecting to find him dead one day but he hangs in there. He gets all the medication he needs to ward off cocci and he gets dewormed. I wish I could find him a...

It hasn't said anything to me yet.

No, the feathering on the legs will go away but that round head and short little beak sure look odd to me.

Ok, someone tell me what this is. We found it running around out in the yard and we don't know where it came from. We have a bunch of peahens setting on eggs but can not identify a matching shell for this chick.

That monitor has paid for itself. I still have hens laying, I'm still setting eggs. :he Not many are fertile.

Uh, the two really dark ones look like chickens to me. :gigSpaulding blood tends to make the colors darker and the whites whiter, perhaps you have some Spaulding in your flock? Also whenever there is a white gene it will also affect the color. That is why WE and Silver tend to be a bit washed...

One day old Cameo Pied.

I am very careful with the marking and recording of all eggs. The breeding information is kept and serialized in our files. When I am asked about a bird I can tell you from his wing tag it's egg number, date laid, Pen color and patterns, the date set, and hatched. We also note special...

High percentage Spaulding Silver Pied, one day old. More color will come in later.

Day-old Purple Pied.

Day-old Montana chicks. They have a blue-slate band in the wing that other colors do not.

Montana Pied at four weeks.

High percentage Spaulding Pied, one day old.

Anything that looks Cameo is a Cameo and can be either sex, all of the IB cocks will be split to either Cameo or Purple. Since daddy is Cameo all cock chicks will be split Cameo or actually be Cameo from the Cameo hen, the Purple hen will pass her Purple to her cock chicks and be split to both...
