Yeah Hawkeye, for some reason every now and then I get an all black. So far they have all been female though. I sold one of them to Candace and I can't remember where the others went. Maybe I sold her two of them. I am so forgetful these days. They are gorgeous because they have green and blue sheen in their black feathers.
I was told at the very beginning an all black wasn't an APA accepted color. I just assumed that was true since you never see them for sale. My polish numbers are so far down because I sold all those roos then lost those 3 hens on one of the first very hot days. I've raised very few this year and am down to less than what I started with at this point.
Yeah I think Cloud stole eggs that were in various stages of development. I really don't care if the dogs eat a few eggs but I hate thinking she might have eaten some little embryos. So we have 6 little babies running around the yard with 4 hens. And another baby I hatched this morning in the incubator that was still in the nest. I have another duck sitting on eggs in the duck house but have no idea where she is on development.
