2015 HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long, Join us IF YOU DARE!

[chicapee]

Do you still have the other boy? I'm curious to see what he looks like now, lol...
No Rees in my lines... they're a mix of the earlier lines... clear autosexing and good blues eggs from most... one lays with slightly greenish tint and another that's almost green, but majority is a pretty pale blue...
Good autosexing as well... I have a pic od Casey's chicks with the girls and boys circled if she doesn't mind me posting it...
Lobes should change more, but I know mine aren't perfect and do still need work there...
Love seeing those happy babies... I never regret my offer to you, hon...
He'll be tall, but not as heavy as your Orps... wait'll his legs start growing, lol...
A, B, C and D lines... no Rees lines...

I don't care for the Rees lines, just personal preference, but anyone who gets chicks from my eggs can bring in Rees blood for diversity if they wish...

ETA: wonky combs in the boys of my line are not common... sorry, guys... guess I might need to send more in spring, lol...

They are staying out of the weather. I have just started to give them a little scratch as a treat and they will take it from my hand. They also have grit available. I like to wait until they are at least 8 weeks. Which they were on the 22nd. I think I have 2 boy lav ameraucana and 4 girls, 1 of each black lav split, 1 girl bcm and as you know 1 of each of the clb. I love em.

These are the Cream Legbar chicks @CaseyV hatched from eggs out of my flock... pullets circled in red, cockerels in blue...

Believe she had 1 more pullet, but it was hiding under the others, lol... she took individual pics too, but I don't have those...

Oh, this is my Lemon Cuckoo orpington, he was hatched August 12th. I have more LCO but for his age his wayyy bigger than the rest.

I hatched a Lemon Cuckoo Orpington chick & she is huge! She is super nice and calm too. So far she is the only 1 of the week-old chicks that is growing a tail; hope that doesn't mean she is the only pullet!

I'll run out there now and take pics of him.. and go ahead and post that picture, i don't mind

What do you feed your littles?

That is great to hear about not having Reese lines. I like the grey boys better for some reason too.

You got great odds! My first 2 full batches of Cream Legbars turned out to all be boys so that's why I was worried when your singleton hatched, lol... but they seemed to be coming out a lot more even now... and my Am's and BCM seem to be throwing higher % of girls than boys this year...

I follow the Legbar threads and discussions, but I don't get involved cuz I think I'd start too many arguments, lol... my flock is still molting, so I'm waiting to get new pics once they finish... but my boy is looking even better now, better than I even thought he would...

Flock raiser with a few scoops of scratch mixed in the bag.

Flock raiser

I do too, just checking that there isn't some other super feed that mine are missing out on.
Have you tried ware milling. Some folk down here swear by it. But the closest place to get it is in Lumberton.
