Day 20. The one that has pipped is a non Rees with the great air cell. Pipped right where he should be. I am crossing my fingers for a cockerel. Never thought I would say that lol.

Good luck on your BR's! I love that breed too and have considered getting into them. The non hatchery ones that I have seen are gorgeous birds.

I will keep my fingers crossed you get a nice cockerel

I agree the non hatchery BPR are gorgeous. These eggs are from a quality source, not hatchery, its my first go at them. These chicks will be descendant from Freds Hens stock, he is here on BYC and also stock from a breeder Guy Roy. The breeder(a BYC member) I got them from has stock from both these sources. I cant wait till hatchday. I drove almost 2 hours each way to meet up with her, I believe she drove about an hour or just over, each way on her end as well.

The wry tail I was worried about was very noticable today. However the other cockerel whos comb I was worried about has grown up very nice now.

They are starting to find their voices now that they are 11 weeks and when I let them all out to play today one of the boys was thinking to mount the little pullet.

A bit early for that kind of thing but I guess hormones are raging

Keep us updated.

I put those 1x1 pavers on the ends and in the middle -- my exterior is 20x40 feet Does that mean I would need 120 1'squares at $1.68 ea would be --- $201 just for raccoons... In then end flat hw cloth 2' out was less costly - and although I value my chickens no end. I'm a cheap skate. (and paid with loosing two chickens.) I have lined that 'wall' of the courtyard as you describe (just 10')

The pavers that you have gives a better appearance IMO...maybe I will move that way-- I still have some areas that could be dug -- but now everything is inside electric netting fence...and I'm hoping that will protect them -- (cha Ching).

I started buying 2 or 3 every time I went to Home Depot and replaced a little bit of wire a little at a time. It seemed less painful that way - both on my wallet and my back!

Good luck. I hate raccoons. And Possums. Wretched creatures.
