Sad to report my second little one didn't make it past day three.

Sorry to hear that.

Wow, that's so sad... do you know why?

No, I can only guess being smaller it for picked on by the others in the brooder. The hatch total was 8 and I didn't want to leave it alone. I was working or sleeping all weekend, so I couldn't really check on it or give it vitamins to get it started. The first one is still doing fine. Probably a rooster, lol, but that's OK.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope the other one remains strong and healthy. Good luck

So sorry for your loss, chiques, but I hope your other little one makes it!

Thank you. While I never like losing a chick or adult, it is part of life. On the bright side, I still have one!

If you would like and chippy says it's OK, I'll be happy to post pics of the color combinations that comes out of these breedings. I don't know which may or may not carry the gene, but suspect it follows barring from the original cuckoo. Although I'm trying to eliminate blue, it seems to have made it to the third generation.

Go ahead! I don't have any exciting updates about Allie and Bino, so yeah.

I think this thread is really cool. I will be following it. I have never heard of albino chickens before.

I was wondering if Chippy could share some new pictures of the twins. You know some to show how they are developing. Also what are they being fed and any supplements or vitamins they may get.

Thanks!

Any info Chiques wants to add about his albino would be goo too!

The first few days I have mine liquid baby vitamins once or twice a day to get it going.

Feed is Dumor unmedicated 24% starter. It's in a brooder with three others and treated the same.
