ohhhh well chicken poop! Guess I'll have to track down a way to get some of the laced ones. Prob should let my BF adjust to the fact that I've acquired almost 50 chickens in a month before I set out on that mission.

Came home today to my Partridge Hen Hatching out. ALL 12 eggs are hatching. 10 Darks and 2 Partridge. My Darks have not been laying as well (They are super heavy) so all their eggs I am trying to hatch out - but my l;aying fool Partridge Girls managed to slip two eggs in the nest before I could move the broody. 100% Hatches are the best.

Thank you, I got a request today for some updated shots of my blue laced red Brahma project birds, thought I might share them here as well. Need to decide which males to use. Have all the female seperate, put them together for a few minutes to take photos. A few of the old hens put the smackdown on these upstart cockerels.

The best colored cockerel, a bit smallish though, with some of the girls.

A few of the other cockerels in the running.

Some of the girls.

Head shot of a young cockerel still growing in some neck feathers.

Question for dan powell and big medicine: please tell me you started with blue hens and a gold rooster??? I plan on trying for the same colouring, please please give me some advice as I am a genetics dummy, if you can keep it simple I would appreciate it!
