I just set 46 HG sex links, and 54 HG mixed. I’m curious to see how many develop because it’s been cold and/or rainy, and I’ve noticed the muddy eggs have a lower success rate, and those that were laid and left in 38 degrees and below for any amount of time might be damaged by the chill.

fingers crossed!

the Halloween assortment at 5 weeks! I’m going to start weaning them off the heat now that the deep freeze is hopefully over and put them out into genpop in another couple weeks. I need remove a few of jumbos and extra males first as I have been procrastinating.
I just took the last three of my Hallowe'en hatch and put two of them into my mixed pen and the other into the freezer. I sold the rest.

I have 17 from my snowie hatch outside in a pen, so far I have 7 banded as definite males, every day I intend to go fish them out and put them in the small breeder pen, someone buys the males at $3 each 2 per week, so I figure they eat less than $3 of food per week so keeping them until he eventually buys them all scores me a few extra bucks. But it’s been so cold and rainy I haven’t wanted to drag the small pen out from under the deck and set it up haha.
 
It’s a sad day, as I type, Popeye is in a box waiting for my husband to finish work so we can take care of him. Snowflake has gotten protective of his ladies, and when Popeye bumbles into them, Snowflake warns him off, but Popeye doesn’t take the warning and kicks up his feet and attacks. Popeye has a spot of blood on his cheek, but I can’t find any injuries on either, I suspect he broke a nail during an attack and later scratched his face, but I don’t want to worry about such things with the inside pets, he has to go to freezer camp.

Snowflake is all grown up now and we are planning to give him a more masculine name. Since he is white, and has a silver lady and a golden lady, I was thinking about Yukon Cornelius.

Baldi seems over all improved, I’ve been giving her vitamin e morning and night, and I bought the pricey feed for her, she seems up more than before, but still stumbles a lot. It’s hard to tell, but maybe the toes aren’t strong enough for balance, they seem weak. But when I give her vitamin e, she stands and thrashes pretty strongly, and has definitely gotten stronger and more resistant to it. I guess time will tell, she isn’t getting worse and seems happy anyway.

Sorry to hear about Popeye but at least you caught it before multiple injuries.

He’s also made of what looks more like white meat than the others, I’ve heard a&m are like that, but had not seen it. If he’s more delicious, I’m going to be hatching out more double silvers to eat hahahah.
