Beyond The Purple Door...Chat thread.

[Don 27]

Hello Don..No you were not a reason for me shutting down my old thread.
Welcome and feel free to chat as much as you want..
The Road trip is a bit of an urbane legend now and we probably shouldn't talk out loud about it..

Haha ok .. Thanks! good morning.

I am just scared to hatch them and then possibly having to cull them if they are really bad? I bought her from the lady I got all my Birds from. Maybe it was an injury that healed wrong too? She was about 10 weeks old when I bought her and never noticed the foot was all noodled.

Injury can be possible too. Can't rule it out completely either.
Culling isn't fun, I understand that.

Her crooked toes look like they're caused by vitamin deficiency. I see this happen more commonly in cockerels, & roosters.
My Maran/GameFowl cross has a crooked toe on both feet, & my Project Orpington has it on one foot.

Maybe I'll just try 6 of her eggs and see what happens?

Sounds like a good plan. Let us know how it goes?

I'm just waiting for better weather and for her to begin laying again after being Broody. Plus I'll wait for another Hen to go Broody too..

Sounds good.
Most of my birds have been laying through winter, my other two Brahmas are starting lay again after taking a break during winter.

Mine have been laying all winter although not as often. Forrest Hump also took a break from the hens too.
