Good to know, I know from Wyandotte and sebright I always had to add to them to keep fertility and hatchability up real good. It is nice to know these will not require as much input.
they are little dolls, and will finish out well with a little more time, they are acting much better today and will be handled at least twice a day so to get even more comfortable.
teh trio is in a 27x30 hole in my 6 hole indoor conditioning pen. They will likely stay there this year. well protected from predators, weather and eveything else.
That little cockerel is a hoot, he is always a talking. My rosecombs are always talking, maybe its because I have a radio playing on a station that all they do is tell jokes, and sing funny little songs, and have comedians on.
I hope the girls are starting to show their tails, but that one little girls is still younger than the other pullet by about 3 weeks or so.
I will have to get some wheat germ and cod liver oil, and mix some up. Did not know about feeding that.
That pen is about the size they were in here. Maybe a little narrower, but I don't have any thing to protect their feathers from the cage wire, guess I need to put up something.
My birds are all in doors, and all protected from varments, did dispatch a coon last nite, My Great Pyrenesse startes raising cane and I looked over when they started running, and seen the coon go up a tree. So I did what needed to be done, I don't think he would have ever got to the barn though.

My DH is going to build me a new barn in the spring. I hope I can get everything set the way I want. I will be so glad to have my incubator, and hatcher out in the barn office area, along with my brooder and baby box, instead of having things in different areas. It is going to be so nice.
