Sumatra Thread!

Sorry about the bad luck on the first batch, and the lost chick on this batch. Hopefully the rest will hatch and make it.

Thanks, I'm optimistic about this hatch. And they have a good mum.
I'm looking forward to when i can put them in their new coop and run.

Iverk show.
I've never been to Iverk show until today, and I was impressed with the poultry show there. next year I would like to enter some Sumatra's at the show.




























i don't think ill have to much competition on the Sumatra front.















i really like this KO shamo, normally I'm not that keen on shamo but this one was a character.

And four chicks and that's it now for my hatching this year.

Sorry you only got 4 chicks Raph, hopefully next year will be better for you.

It's a shame the 2 hatches were so poor, but it is the wrong end of the year. The hen left the eggs that didn't hatch so I opened them to see what was in there, and there were 3 dead chicks which were fully formed but didn't make it out.

If i get some pekings ill be able to hatch in the spring and the chicks should hatch better.
