I can go there without much aid.

There were many more whites than the statistics would lead me to expect..................... but the humidity was killing me at hatch time, and sadly many whites were the victims of high humidity caused deaths. Oddly, the Cornish cross were mostly 22 dayers; the lav/isabel Orps, set in the same bator only 4 days later [operator error], are hatching tonight at 20 days.

My Brahmas, cousins to your chicks, tend to run long as well. I always suspected my old incubator possibly ran a bit cool, but hatched so good I was not going to upset the ol girl by messing with the settings. When I started letting my stock out to other folks, I started hearing this from them as well.

The one I'm calling splash is uneven greyish white with a perceptable light spot on its head and two white stripes on iits back................... is this a down phenotype you've seen before?

 

[big medicine]

This is the first generation that splash is a possibility with the Cornish, and they are all up at Dad's. So I've not seen them but that sounds about right.

Well I am having computer problems at home - actually I think it is my UPS - batteries are probably dead. So I didn't get a chance to corral any pics yet.

Also just got a chance to catch up. Whew! Katy the painting is beautiful! Steve, I am as amazed as everyone else by the charcoal drawing of you. I would have sworn that was a photograph!

Pepper those jubilees are gorgeous!

Just a few pics to keep the chatter going, mostly culls but some are worth waiting a little while to see if I can pair them with some thing quite a bit better and hatch something halfway decent. All part of putting numbers on the ground and seeing what comes of what and hoping for the best, without spinning our wheels and breeding nothing but years of frustration LOL.

These 2 have very little going for them, but I have some room so they can stay for now.

the birds not destin to last long grow out pen.

Some teen pullets that will stay another month or so for further evaluation, the color is worth seeing for a bit.

The pearl eye is evident here even as young-un's and worth watching

Older WLR's youngsters paired and waiting for their first hatching egg's,

The whites adolecents are doing well and biding their time in the white section of the condo. As you can see even the pure white's will throw some color every now and then, and when they do you have to wait and see how they come out LOL.

I really envy the space you, Katy, Steve and a few others have.
