Not sure why there’s talk of finches, must of been accidentally posted to the wrong thread.
Second mite treatment was done yesterday morning. Weather is turning for the better and birds are out and about more often now. I think egg production will be increasing in a week or so. I’ve been getting 5-7 a day.
Anyways time for a photo dump.
Mother OE and look alike daughter, mom (bottom) is a bit bigger. She’s been the best contributor to my egg color project.
Her 3 other daughters, not sure what the single comb black one lays but all the other lay some shade of olive. Due to the pea comb and blue egg gene being linked I suspect she lays brown and is therefore on the sell/cull list.
My pretty light brahma cross. Not sure if dad was the BJG or blue copper maran. I really like her regardless.
The two bresse sisters. Blue CM is the dad.
EE x BJG who lays blueish often speckled eggs. She’s actually pretty nice and big but I plan to sell her. I have too many solid blacks IMO.
My 2 sapphire skies, the right one is a year older. Planning to sell the left one.
The barred/laced hen who does indeed create sex linked chicks when crossed to a non-barred roo.
