I get to set 7-8 eggs this week under my broody hen, Arrow! Also yesterday 28 meat chicks arrived in the post!View attachment 3784879View attachment 3784878

Exciting!


I got 5 more chicks after my last hatch was all cockerels. How do you resist Cochins

We have a Buff Orpington rooster, 2 Buff orpington, 3 Black Australorp, and 2 Buff Brahma hens. The broody is a Brahma so only one is laying and I don't know what ratio of breeds I'll set yet so I'm just collecting for now. What cool is buff roo over black hen creates sex linked chicks so as soon as they feather in you know the sex and can cull cockerels.

How big are the Brahmas? I've heard they're big.

So cute I have chicks due to hatch tomorrow hopefully, had a heap of powers issues last night though so I'm praying that didnt hurt them too bad

They're quite large, the bigger one ironically named TinyBird is the largest and is not much smaller than our buff orpington rooster. I'll try remember to take a photo tomorrow and post it.

What do you have? I've always thought BAs and BOs were boring because that's all we ever really get because my parents like them. The only reason we have two Brahma is because we had some chicks and brooded 4 of them with ours for a friend and I traded a couple of ours for them.
