LOL hiya Country... yep, I was definitely groaning. I have another Hen in another flock laying now too, so it's already starting, lol. My Mom is here for the week and she is taking home whatever eggs I've collected up to that point. I'm hoping to maintain my self control over my hatching...
Oohhhhhh those are adorable babies! Congrats on saving the miracle keet, lucky little keet! They are Violets... and will eventually feather out to a charcoal grey base/body color, with no pearling/dots or barring anywhere, just some little squiggly markings on some of their wing feathers. They...
Pearl Grey huh? I thought you were getting a Slate, what happened to THAT? lol.
Depending on what the Pearl Grey is carrying for recessive genes in it's background (if anything) you may end up with mostly Pearl Grey keets from your hatches if it turns out to be a male. Chocolate and Buff are...
Wow this thread was waaaaaaaaaaay buried, I had to do some major digging to find it to be able to post an update on what I kept from this past season's hatching frenzy, lol.
For those that are interested, I took some pics of what I kept and added a bunch to the bottom of my My 2012 Keet...
I took a lot of good pics that I need to post, but I'm over my data usage limit on my wireless again...
So I hafta wait until the 10th before I can upload any more pics
Aww your Mom is awesome, more eggs for you!!! Crossin' my fingers for a great hatch!
I took some more pics of my Chocolates and Blondes tonight... I'll go thru them tomorrow and post more pics if I got any good/not blurry shots of them. The one I was thinking might be a male seems to be...
YAY PICS FINALLY!!!!
That almost looks like one of my hatches!!! ('cept you need some Pieds!) Nice mix! Glad you hatched out and still have plenty of Chocolates to work with for next season, they are adorable as babies, gorgeous as adults. In pics and looking in my brooders my eye always goes...
This thread is so long I can't remember if I posted pics of my last few hatches, but here's the most recent one... just a small batch, 11 out of 12 hatched.
These are the 2nd batch of eggs I was letting my broody Guinea Hen sit on. I took these from her too and put 12 more in the nest... which...
Well take some more pics!!! I was wondering how your keetsies were doin'. Been findin' any more eggs??? My Girls are not happy with the heat, but I just set a batch of 42 about a week and a half ago and only pulled 8 clears when I recently candled Tuesday, so wooohoo. Now if I can just avoid the...
You mean you're gonna leave the just the unhatched eggs and wet keets in there... not the fluffed dried keets, right? The keets need to come out by the 36 hr mark for food and water... 24 is even better IMO tho.
If she has Pearl Grey males in her flock, but lots of pretty colored Hens...that...
They look like Royal Purples to me too! But some of my Chocolates have looked very close to Royal Purples, so be sure to check their colors really well after they are fluffed n dried. Thanks for the pic Duckie, Congrats on the new babies What colors were in that flock again? (Or batch of eggs)...
Awwww beautiful Pea babies Dickie!!!! I just set 1/2 dozen IB eggs... 1st time ever incubating Peafowl eggs for me...so wish me luck
Post some pics of your wet keets... I wanna see!!!! (yes I am an inpatient brat, lol)... I might be able to tell you what they are!
