Barred Rock? Great hatching work!

Hi Monica! This was my "mystery egg". She wasn't sure which hen laid it. Could be Barred Rock or Dominique she thinks.

These eggs are various "barn yard" mixes. It's so fun to see what I get and to try and guess what's in them. I'm hoping for more frizzles in this hatch. I got a few in my last hatch from GardenWren and have fallen in love with how unique they look. She marks each egg with what hen laid it, so I usually have a little idea though.

8 new chicks! Last 7 eggs aren't doing anything. I'll leave another couple of days then call it. 8 from this shipment is actually more than I expected due to the air cells etc. Penny's 10 eggs are due on Easter- so, lock down for them is Thursday (TOMORROW!)! Then, I am going to be hatching some Mille Fleur Bantams fir the lady who owns the barn I just moved my horse too. Hopefully I don't totally fall in love with the itty bitties!!!



this chick is from a mystery Egg... she has no idea which hen it came from! It's smaller than the rest, so maybe a bantam? Time will tell!

looks like mine that grown to be green egger light green jmho the white dot on the head

Mine wander off like that and it is the bobcat that gets them, or a hawk.
I try to run them back up here...I have the area half fenced...starting to look alot like a prison camp here

We had that happen last week. Freaking hawk had a discerning pallet. Ignored my $3 feed store chickens and decided both my female ducks were delish..

Kiddo was livid. She had let them out to clean their pen. Went into garage to grab clean bedding and came out to Hawk banquette. My drake managed to hide but husbabd says I can't hunt hawk.

In 4 years of keeping chickens I have never had a hawk come down. Cats and raccoons even an opposum once.. So livid. Why can't they eat the cheap birds?
