Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that....   thinking, thinking...

Come on and join us. This hatch from last year seems to have been one if my best I've had.

It would appear that Rudy and I have some of the same problems....but at least, I can still keep my balance.

Maybe I will, though it will be friend doing the hatch for me. I think she has also said early in the year eggs tend to hatch better than any other time of the year?

Mine mine mine!

That one is cemani-NN mix. Friend gifted me with a few chicks.

I love the look of this blue NN pullet I have. Not even sure how I got the colour. I have White and Barred Hens. I had a incomplete dominant white Cock. He was white with black blotches. Anyway.. happy accident! I have a blue boy for her as well




Another interesting hatch this year:

Fun times. I wish I didn't sell them (the frizzled NNs)

LOL I have a bunch of frizzle nn too.

Shakespear and I have been arguing for some time over the gender of this one chicken, I kept saying she was a pullet and Shakespear ought to treat her kinder, he keeps insisting she is a boy. Gary took Shakespears side, saying he trusts Shakespears judgment on gender over mine, hurting my chicken whispering feelings!

Anyway I am just about to admit Shakespear was right. I hope he is since he carries darker Fm coloring then any other boy I have had. Just need to check him out for Sc, that is sometimes really hard to tell for sure on carriers.



So that leads to a genetic question, if he is in fact a he, his color is black, does that mean he will sire mostly black chicks? (his visual color anyway, have no clue as to genetic color since I have had such a mix of color / pattern) (he most likely is offspring of one of the Things, so would have mottled in the mix in his anscestry)
