Dixie Chicks

Lol!

The legs are light at hatch most of the time and turn blue, yellow, or green later. The blacks are a result of black hen with a black breasted red rooster. Ideally black should be bred to black to produce clean blacks cause my current crossing will probably have red leakage on the males. Since I lost the black rooster, I had no choice. I will have my blacks separated next year as I'm working on chocolate ohiki and also blues. I've got the first generation on the ground with a rooster that carries chocolate and luckily turned out good and clean black.

WhatnI like about the Ohiki is they are beautiful and friendly birds. So friendly and sociable into trouble.
Why is my pic insert not working?

That's what got me hooked on them when mini was telling me about them... they sound so much like my Araucanas, huge personalities and very intelligent...

I have no idea why your pics are loading...

I don't know on the pic issue @ApiaryandAviary.

When they dry take pictures and I can probably identify your wild type colors.

do they look clean legged? I think I've got the feathered leg issue worked out in mine mostly.

Haven't done close exams yet, but from what I've seen there wasn't any hints of feathers on any legs... when they're all fluffed out and I can get good pics I'll do full exams and let ya know!

I discovered yesterday that one of the pullets has feathered legs. Either it's popped up randomly, or then one of the Maran cockerels managed to get in a lick at some point. They didn't seem interested in that sort of things at the point we collected the eggs though, because they were only about 12 weeks old at that point, but everything is possible. I really wouldn't of have wanted feathered legs... It's going to be super messy.

Bunnies are growing up, we separated the boys from the rest of the population yesterday. There's only two of them, they're sharing a bachelor tractor. They were thumping the ground yesterday already, and Karin saw some of the bunnies trying to hump each other earlier last week. Hilma recovered from the shock of seeing her boyfriend on Friday pretty quickly. She is not a big fan of the process and she's really moody afterwards...

Felix, maybe Hilma wants to be wined and dined first?

If this were a certain cooler thread I'd say "Don't eat the yellow snow, guys".

But as it isn't, I'll welcome you to the thread instead.
