Well are you planning on breeding your birds? Golden is a dominant color... breed it over your browns and you'll get TONS of goldens

I am planning on breeding them , I need to learn more though , Im just hopeing that these guys dont carry any genetic time bombs like some breeds do like those poor duck with the crest and you have a certain chance of getting ones with exposed brains and such /shudder

Thank you that makes me feel better,
Update,
another baby hatched yesterday evening but Im not shure he will be ok he has a tiny thing comeing from his tummy about the size of a pin head and staggers around a bit he leg was in a weird postion and I had to help him out his leg was so wierd that for a second I thought he had a 3rd leg growing from his back.
Mr 2 the second one to hatch is most likely dead as I type this as about 8am this morning when I was heading off to the DR he was stiff flat out and coudnt move, he dosnt seem to be in any pain and is sleeping so Ill let him be , another babie has leg and toe issues , I put little boots on him yesterday but because of the way he walks he spent to much time upside down on his back so I took them off after only about 10 hours , his toes seem almost better but he is still falling over , Non of these babies are distressed seeming or in pain that I can tell so I have them in an incubator set of at 95 F with the shelf lineing on the bottom with food and water as they were being stepped on kicked and pecked at by the moveing carpet of fuzz thats now in my brooder.
Ill be surprised if they make it but Ill give them a shot .
My 4 week old button is calling his/her wee wee whoo wee wee whoo call.... at the babies I think ?? hopefully in a few days to a week I can put at least the cortunix babies with him/her.
