Thanks!Karen, your pens look great!!!
This is just strange. So not what I was expecting! Pen #4 was pure SUSSEX hens and a barred buff rooster. Okay, on the bottom pic, the chick to the far right? With the light spot on his head? He/She is Barred. The rest . . . um, I was really expecting them to look exactly like pure Sussex. So, have we already proven that the Buff Barred Mottled rooster managed to shake up the system? Usually, my Alohas when crossed with Sussex only result in what look like crappy smaller Sussex. Dark brown with some spots, but smaller than Sussex and sometimes with funky Aloha combs. These do not look like Sussex chicks! What a mystery it's going to be seeing them grow up . . .
Can I do that even if they aren't an APA recognized breed? (yet)You guys should add a alhoa page to the breeds list
Hmmm. Lots of too-small "gamey' wild-type hens. Those will probably end up as culls, even though many will color up some. Lots of roosters! I see a few that might work out but not many. It's kind of what I expected, the breeding pen was a mess when you got those eggs, which is why I'd wanted to get you Stephen's eggs instead. But that's what I predicted when you picked those eggs up, that there probably wouldn't be much improvement in that batch and it would mostly be "more of the same" small Aloha stock. Although I do see a few yellow legs that are telltale signs of Cheeto's influence. The mostly-white rooster may work out provided he has the needed size and body type to go along with the color.just wanted to post a few pics of the classroom hatch chicks. they are a month old now and looking really good. i think there are maybe 5 roosters in there, could be more but they look alike so its hard to tell which one i already counted, LOL
this one is a beautiful roo, and he's a good size too so even if he loses some white, he can spare it!!
and just some cutie pie pics of the grow outs
Stars aren't recognized and I'm almost certain they've got a page.Can I do that even if they aren't an APA recognized breed? (yet)
