Thanks for the pics Krisrose. Makes me want to go to chickenstock again. Next year.... I am officially on vacation. Well, as of 5 pm on Friday. Just been soooo busy to update. My husband and daughter will be camping at the fair. She has pigs this year,(her last) They just loaded and took them up. I am sure they will make weight. Just hoping no one is to heavy. Had the dog show yesterday. It was long and sunny. hot hot hot.... We had 48 kids this year!!! That is so great.
Vickie2x2... One of the kids from my 4-H group took my BLRW roo and a hen. The show is tomorrow. I sure hope they do well. It is her first time showing chickens, and I offered her to show mine so she could see if she liked it before investing. But they ended up getting some chickens anyway. They are just taking the BLRW for a breeding pair. I had a horrible hatch with the eggs I purchased. I was so sad. I 27 alive and moving on lockdown. and had only 5 hatch. 1 of those died and 1 of them I put down as it had stuff hanging out of it. So, I got one blue orp, one vorwerk, and one BLRW. I am pretty sure it was a humidity issue. I think it was to humid. The hydrometer read 75-80% but I think it was off. I have 3 of them now and they all read something different. I think the ole fashioned one is the most accurate. One of the digitals reads 20% and the other reads 55-60%. the old fashioned one reads 35-40%. I have some of my barnyard mix in there now. 22, and hoping some hatch. They are due to hatch on the 30. I will get more eggs when I can figure this out. The chicks are so cute. They will be going to the nursery soon in the coop.
Hope to see more of you all while on vacation.
