The Moonshiner's Chick Chat

In that case, all but one out of this new breeding pen are WallyG birds. That one is my only blue and she is thankfully a pretty little girl with good feets! Not perfect but good. I’m a long way from chookwagn quality.

You are having more luck than me so I think I will need to start looking at importing some of those expensive WallyG line birds

I just set my first eggs of the year!

Candled yesterday, 21/22 are developing! I think that's the best fertility rate I've ever had

 

[Chookwagn]

My next hatch is due 20th

My next batch should start hatching Friday. My Friday, not Chook’s Friday.

How many chicks have you hatched so far this season?

Haven't done a count yet

I have about 40 eggs hatching on 20th
And another 36 due a week after that

Still plenty of eggs coming at the moment to keep the incubators filled

Got these 4 plus 2 more in the incubator right now and another about to zip out.

Oooo a little red one!

So, don’t beat me too bad but the brown, reddish bunch are a mix of pure RIR and RIR over buff and BSL. I needed eggs to hatch. People be wanting some chickens and don’t care what they get right now. I’m about to shuffle some birds around to get my RIRs all by themselves.

Bugger I thought it might be a BC!
