Brood of 8 in the broody rooster pen. Would have 10 except rooster smashed two. Roosting arrangement adjusted so he is no longer a threat. Otherwise he is doing well. Chicks show close to wild-type down coloration although you can see influence from the brown-breasted brown red on stripe width.

Shubin have you had to cull your flock? Seen something on the web about outbreaks over there

No I havent but I had friend of a friend lose her flock. About 30 minutes north by my old town.

I got worried when I heard about that. I am not too worried anymore. I see and follow bunch of gamefowl folks from so cal on Instagram and they are all doing fine. They are much bigger and centered around the "outbreak" areas. So they would get hit before me most likely.

I havent seen any sign of any sickness this year. No fowl pox or cocci or anything. All good here. Thanks for asking.

are white clarets more popular? I always assumed because people I knew years ago had whites.

do all baby quills game have brown fluff?

Are you talking red quills as in the color pattern or Eslin Red Quill the strain? If former then yes, base coloration will be brown with doodle marks on head and broken chipmunk stripe on back. The Eslin Red Quill may not always breed true on the color side as that has been the case with at least a couple familes I have seen from Kentucky. If talking silver quill like with Joe Redmund Grays, then you have silver / gray allele turning the brown to grayish in the down. I am making distinction between the color pattern and strain which not everyone does.

I have kept neither Eslin Red Quill nor Joe Redmund Grays yet have had birds that had their look as possible using genetics of games not of those strains where matings bring proper alleles together.

thank you man, appreciate that info. I saw a pic of baby quill and they are brown base as you said with lil dots on the head. I put my hatch over a hmong hen and a couple of the chicks had similar look black and brown down. the guy assured me there is no quill in her I guess it is just by genetic coincidence.
