They just popped up out of eggs I hatched from my neighbors flock of EEs..no frizzles in the flock so no clue where it came from..we thought maybe one of my Silkie roos had snuck down but really don't see one of them trying to take on her roo..
They were good birds, layed an almost perfect blue egg, about 1 shade more towards green than I like and one that was different colored than the rest laid an almost pink egg..I should have kept a couple but ended up selling them off. As soon as I'm done with my hatching this year, I'll hatch out several dozen for her for replacements, and I don't have a Silkie roo this year so guess we'll see if they show up this year or not..
I've kinda been rooting for a smooth, just bc that's what I've thought 'he' was since he started feathering and then BOOM this morning its like a completely different bird. But I'm definitely going to document this with pics so I don't freak out in the future..lol..bc my memory can not be trusted.
can I get some votes on pullet or cockerel for my wcbp? Sexed as a female, but we had a plucking incident after she broke 2 blood feathers and now I can tell much by the puff and it's wonky and I'm having roo anxiety. This is from before. It always seemed uniform to me, she was 4 months here.
