The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

Lucky 13 got transferred to 4x8 brooder in garage today.




I know I should speed up my reading of ALL the previous posts on this hatch-along. But, I just can't wait!!!
What can you say about the little buggers? I see a great variety of showgirls...will you divulge what and how you mixed to get here?

Most of them are pure naked necks. I think there is just three crosses, only three with five toes anyway.
The crosses are 1/2 white naked neck, 1/4 white silkie 1/4 white jersey giant. I was hoping for more fm black skinned one's but that's the only one.
Showgirls are prettier, goofier and more Muppet like

and have silkie feathering. That fm chick shouldn't have silkie feathering, the mom didn't unless you count the fluffy butt feathers Lol.
 
Ron, casportpony, I always thought the naked necks were ugly and never wanted them. Now that I have them I think they are absolutely the most awesomest coolest chickens ever!

Thank you! I do really appreciate the tutorial!
I haven't ever seen a show girl in person so that could be the source of my confusion...
Although I have to say that I have seen many turkens before and those were not nearly as cute and pretty as yours! I'll follow along better now!

They are supposed to be very productive too

Do you eat your extra cockerels?
 
Brucifer made these feeding stations for me, I have to paint them and put them in their new locations, I think I will just put food under them. I just love them, he made them from a picture and I gave him the feeder base measurement,

My chickens don't bother my bees, and the bees drink out of the chicken waterers. I give them their own waterer, and they still drink out of the chicken waterers. I love sitting by my hives and watching the bees come and go. When the yellow jackets come out, they will steal your bees. This was my swarm last summer. It was fascinating to watch. This was a small handful of them. And them going into the bait hive.
enjoy watching the bees
