June 2020 Hatch Raise along

[Clap p 1]

The last one is still drying but here are the other 5.

This is a 6 week old lemon cuckoo Orpington that just won't feather. 2 sisters have already d ied but buff sister is in coop outside with similar age chicks. I think it is a slow feathering gene on the chromosome with the bar gene that I read about. If so, I don't want it in my flock anyway. Need some of our bird geneticists to chime in. Lazytrucker do you know anything?

Hay, I just realized your in Texas too. Most people don't realize we might as well be in two different states. I'm guessing about 8 1/2 hrs apart. I'm by Houston.

The ones I'm expecting today are under a broody hen. I reached under and found one pipped but that's all I can tell so far Congrats on your hatch so far!

I did the June hatch along and love this Raise along!! I had a broody that sat on 12 eggs. 4 made through hatching, 1 BBS Ameraucan, 1 Lavender Copper Marans, 1 Blue/Black Copper Marans, 1 splash Copper Marans. We added 6 Ameraucana chicks w same hatch dates from local breeder. Hatch Dates 6/19, 6/20.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that buys friends. I had 1 hatch three weeks ago and had to buy 8 friends. Then I had 1 guinea keet hatch and bought 6 friends. Lol. I think I have a problem

Guineas hatching!!! I had to take the eggs away from the broody hens last minute. Stupid birds were swapping nests and letting other hens set on them while they were pi

pping!
