All my crazy projet ideas!

Ugh, not sure what happened but the white downed baby is missing and no body.

What baby was this..?

What baby was this..?

One of the OEGB. The weird all white downed one. Was hoping to see what it feathered out to be. I've been paying a friend to come check them and water in the morning and at 2pm. She has her girls helping as well. Told her to take pictures in the morning and at 2pm and take a count. The babies are in the garage with out tops on the bins. I've only lost any to failure to thrive, possibly coccidia or a freak drowning in the waterer.

I have cats but I've not had an issue with them, to the point one of the older babies got out and ran right under the simi feral and he did nothing but look at me. That doesn't mean the girls won't have an issue with them. I would think more would be missing if something got in and got it. Nothing seamed to be amiss. The babies were not on edge, no feathers out of place and the shavings not messed up.

I caught the skunk the night after the attack. Didn’t catch the babies but I got the main problem. She’s was in a live trap but I actually hand caught her. That was a STINKY chore!

My little update time:

I unfortunately lost my brassy back hen... I don't know what happened, the night prior I fed her, let her run around for a while, she seemed fine. But I found her the next afternoon she was pilled up in the corner...

Im sorry yams

This hen died a few days ago. It's truly unfortunate, but she gave me a lot of good babies.

Im sorry about your loss

I really hate to say this, but yesterday got so hot it killed my brand new, white OEGB pair. The high got to 100 F, last week it was in the 60's - 70's.
It's so terrible, I feel so bad; like I could've done better for them....

I did get three eggs off of them, so I'm praying I can get at least one of those to hatch.

R.I.P, White's. You two were beautiful.
(I'll share pics later)

Well a mamma skunk and her 4 kits killed not only some of my OEGBs but some of my other babies as well

White OEGB
Fawn OEBG
3 Partridge Cochins
Splash Cochin
2 WBT Japanese

Luckily I still have my Khaki and my BB Red. I also still have one partridge Cochin, one dark Brahma, and my silver laced sebright. I was so excited to start my own line of White OEGBs, they’re so pretty. And start breeding Cochins, they looked to be pretty good quality too.

Im sorry for your losses

@NagemTX

Can you see this picture alright?
This one of the blue red cockerels sons.

Would he be a bird you'd be interested in?
I'm thinning some of my birds, but I thought I'd give you first pick on the blue red cross color's.
