I got three new babies today, they are from the eggs I sold to a local teacher to hatch, I sold them to her on easter sunday, 17 of her 24 eggs hatched on the 6th, and the 8th of this month.
she had kept them up until today, I had kept in contact with her all throughout the incubation, and picked out 3 babies we really liked.
the rest went to a farm/petting zoo
so I now have some of Templetons possible relatives!
here they are! alittle over a week old!
Becca wanted the crested Pekin, who's pure 100% pekin! and crested to boot, Maude and Big Lennies baby!,the black one is a runner mix, and the other is a mallard mix, but it had black and orange feet!
a bath before they went out to the brooder!
meeting the the extended brooder family
look at the difference 2 weeks makes!, Templeton just turned 3 weeks old yesterday
"dearest father,Elliot and I wanted to let you know, that we.hate.you!!!"
I've a question though, I'm pretty sure that the mother of the runner mix is Akai, and she is blue, I think the father is Jacobi, the mallard(he likes Akai lots!), but what would make the baby turn out black???, if it were Mojo was the dad, blue and blue would make blue right? those two are the only two who breed the runners.
