Doubt I'll be on here much. This setup is annoying and scattered.

 

[centrarchid]

I am struggling with it as well. I participate on three sites, this one now by far the most difficult.

 

[sdm111]

Yeah I don't like it either. I'm on a few others too and none are like this. Not even close. I'll be off as well

 

[centrarchid]

They need to include in reporting what the end point for seized birds is. To end suffering is not a bad thing but to destroy animals is not benefiting the animal at all. Maimed animal maybe but I have some maimed birds that live quality lives for years after the damage. A little more truth needed.

Some inaccuracies in reporting below. I, and many others, make effective pets of gamefowl. There is considerable behavioral plasticity, excepting with the humans doing the "saving".

This is the only forum I'm on. It will take some time to get used to it I guess.

That the first clutch from your new black/white hens?

 

[centrarchid]

Yes, hen is one of the white toppy/muff crosses I got last fall. Black chick one the eggs my son placed in the nest. Other, better hen managed to drown in watering trough. I have lost chicks that way but never adults. There appears to be more than two color morphs as color alleles are segregating. I think a couple of the chicks will mature as wheaton while the non-wheaton chicks are split between BBR and something that will make for some sort of splash. Either way the hen has brought with her chick types I have never seen before.

I've got a bunch of eggs in going to boil and feed them to the boys.
Questions is, do I give them the whole egg? Or just half?

 

[jonservidio]

I give them the whole egg,
the clear runny stuff is the potential chick, the yolk(yellow stuff) is the food for the developing chick.
I don't cook them for them,
