Chicks are growing.. adult plumage, combs and crests growing out now 😊

Crests starting on the cross breed chicks 😊

The latest hatch.. Day 3 🤗

I'm hoping to sex my x bred chicks by comb. With Sulmtalers, females have a wickel comb (s shaped comb) and males have a straight comb. In theory all wickel combs should be definitely female.. all straight combed could be male, or female if the mothers comb is inherited. Maybe it will help to...

Yay for you guys.. woohoo! Thank you.. still nothing. I hope it comes on soon too

I'm sorry for what you are going through. If its any consolation I know exactly how tough it is to go a week or 2 without power. We have a few days of no power every week at the moment.. going on 36 hrs of no power currently. Our power guys tried to fix the problem this morning.. power came on...

Chicks 🥰

Yes haha.. road runners are a big deal here. It implies they are hardier and can run around the roads foraging for themselves 😆

Woohoo 👏 let's see the wee floof ball 😀

Yes.. its pretty good 😁 Zim is a crazy place.. but we do like our chooks 🤣

Luckily we have the best weather in the world here in Harare, so we don't have to battle freezing temps and huge extremes. We have become a resilient people. We learned a long time ago that the govt is not our buddy and becoming self sufficient is key to survival. Chickens for both meat and...

Thank you 😊 Most people keep chickens here in Zim. Many keeping indigenous breeds like Koekoek, Kuroiler, African naked necks. There are black australorps, white Sussex, Sasso, turken and others. Most people keep standards and most like a duel purpose breed. In the suburbs of the cities people...
