What color is it? Partridge? I've got lots of light brahmas, and I'm going to be working on another color project with them too.

I hate to spoil the fun here. . but I found Janes little gray duckling dead this morning
No idea what happened. It was laying by the waterer (it's a chic waterer the jar kind) and was soaking wet. Don't know if it died there first and the others just got it wet drinking or if it got in the other water pan and got too wet. It's a shallow pan with rocks in it so Jane can clean her bill. I used it Last year without issue so I don't know. They were zipping in and out of it yesterday. I added some more rocks just in case.
What a bummer.

So sorry

The roo it came from is a blue partridge and the hens either blue partridge or gold partridge ... not 100% sure.
Hes fluffed up a bit more so not quite so moldy looking..

@ Pyxis my silkie eggs arent doing well. Hatch day is today. Out of 9, 3 internally and externally pipped. The 6 died. 2 of the 3 just quit so i opened them up and the yolks were ruptured and all over the chicks.. any idea what may have caused it?

I'm not sure - did you happen to get a picture? Any kind of bad smell? Where these shipped?
