Wheaten Crele Orpington Project, Reboot

[MysteryChicken]

I have some of that! I give it as directed but mix it with their mash and they love it! Been thinking of buying some of their other stuff too. Have you tried this? I provide them with their own little herb garden for all the natural benefits and it helps keep mosquitoes and flies away

Not yet, but I do have some free samples they sent me.

I had a dumb moment, & been taking pictures of these chicks on the wrong day. They're also Sunday, Monday babies.

Never mind, I got the silkies, & the Orpingtons hatch dates confused. Ignore my last post. I looked at the wrong hatch date.

Now I'm confused

Now I'm confused

I'll make it less confusing.

The silkies in my Project Giant Silkie thread hatched on the 30th, & 31st of May, which are a Sunday, & a Monday.

My project Wheaten Crele Orpingtons hatched on the 6th of May which is a Wednesday.

Getting update pictures of the Orps today. They're 8 weeks old. Once the Buff Orpington chick gets better, & starts putting on weight again, they will be moved into the bantam coop to grow out halfway.

Here they are. Buff orpy girl is starting to gain weight back.

Thinking about breeding Red Duckwing Orpingtons someday. I have a welsummer, but will have to use AI. I'll add barring to them for regular Crele too.

but will have to use AI.

Why?

 

[MysteryChicken]

Why?

He's unable to breed successfully due to a broken pelvis that didn't heal properly. He's lopsided.
