I looked back and they were shipped from California to IN and 4 of 6 hatched. Now the 2 that died a few days/week after hatch may have been issues caused by shipping? ? I used a broody.

Glad i found this thread, i am actively seeking females or hatching eggs and not having much luck. I know its not the best time of year. I hatched 4 chicks in the spring, lost 2 within that first few days and the 2 that survived are both roos. Sold 1 kept 1 since they were identical. I now need girls.
Here are the boys with their broody.
Here is the boy i kept now. Seeing a good speciman i can now see mine isn't that great. He is lacking the coloring displayed so well in previous pics posted here.
I have decided to try shipping eggs when it warms up a little if you are still interested :-D
They are GORGEOUS!!!In an attempt to bring this thread to life... I tried to get some pics oft he 'betrothed' today XD I don't normally selectively pair off any particular ones, and just keep the best all in a pen together. But, I think these two would be great toegether, so I'm gonna try it... This is them being cold. It's FREEZING! Chasta (hen) is on the left, and Regius (cockerel) is on the right Here they are snuggling Chasta being creepy Chasta being creepy again XD They got fascinated with the screen This one shows Chasta's colour pretty good Regius moved to the arm of the chair Chasta thinks she's big. She's shaped like a tiny beach ball XD And Riley jumps up, photobombing Regius Stealing all the glory XD He finally left when a hen walked by XD Then Reid walked by, so I took a couple pics of my best boy :-D Being awesome XD Looking at a bug I didn't see :-o Both about to fall asleep XD
