It's not crazy. It's the way snakes operate. A snake may move slowly enough to avoid setting off the camera and it may have gotten its fill and left only to be killed by a neighbor or a hawk. Just because you haven't seen a snake doesn't mean they're not around. And there is NO chance a hen ate half a dozen chicks with no trace.

Maybe a two legged predator got them!

I have 15 with 12 more fertile eggs in the bator now. Mine are a little over 3 weeks and half have crest now. I like their looks also and have read that they're great free range foragers.

I am trying to decide if I want to keep the Lavender Ameraucanas I have now, or switch over to the CCL. (For Blue Egg layers). I like the LAs, but they have such small eggs. And, they are smaller birds. The CCL have much bigger eggs, have cute crests and they are auto sexing! Question: What are the temperments of the Roos?

Silver Hill, I would like to either get some hatching eggs from you, or a pair of chicks. Would that be possible?

Both of mine are the Rees line from GFF and the cockerel is doing well considering there is an Isbar his same age. They have little skirmishes on occasion but otherwise they all get along like best friends.

We hatched out some Welsummers but it's too soon to tell sex. I'll let you know if we get pullets and you're still interested.

Welsummers are supposed to be easy to tell. The hens have a sharper triangle on their head and dark eyeliner.
At least I'm hoping it really works, since my last batch I got 8 of those, and 2 of the supposed roosters.
I know it was right with my first 5.

From what i gather from my research not all Welsummers are as autosexing as you'd expect. Sometimes it's fuzzy at best.

That actually wouldn't surprise me either. I've added lockable latches to everything for when we go on vacation.

I worked this afternoon and now have all my broodies 6 of them with their babies/eggs in their own place with each in it's own nest all snug as bugs, they seem happy, no complaints yet. So I'm guessing I can keep all the broodies and hatchlings together in the same coop/pen or will I have to separate the mothers?
