F1MFxF1MF eggs due t hatch April 13

I will breed the F1 girls, F2 girls one more time to the F1MfxF1MF roo. Then Im going to do a hard cull (sell the hens not kill them) on the hens Im not gonna use in the project moving foward.

Here is what im going to go off of for who will leave...
-no leakage
-no vultue hocks
-no feathered middle toe
-blue ears

Had 3 chicks hatch out. 2 black and white and 1 millie fleur. Will try to post pics.

Both the black/white ones have really nice feathered feet (and the Millie)

F1MFxF1MF- 3 weeks

I don’t know what going on with this chick. If anyone know that would be awesome.

I wish our weather could make up its mind. We’ve had severe weather for the last month and my pens keep blowing over, so I’ve not been able to breed the hens like I would like.
This is a spout tornado that was at my house ( don’t worry no damage and tornado did not touch down)

Here is a picture of ideal feathered feet for a D’Uccles. I bought his little porcelain the other day. Ultimately the goal for the Brown red mottleds.

Oh my gosh guys, Ive been going back threw the thread so I can id the F2 hens and the F1FM girls (their zip ties broke) and theses chicks are F1MFxF2 not F1MFxF1MF (this is the next group).

Oh and this chick will not be used in the project. I am growing it out with a couple of my other chicks to eat.

Breeding Goals 2024
Breeding Rooster

• F1MF

Breeding Hens
- Temporary

• F1MF (3)
• F2 (2)
• F1 (3)

High possibility none of theses chicks will stay. Just rebreeding just incase I get a good one. (Only breeding once) though I am possibly going to breed one of the F2 hens (the more black mottled colored one) again because I like her stance, red eyes, vulture hocks, feathered feet, and mottling.
Main Breeders for 2024

• F1MFxF1MF (1)

• F1MFXF2 (1)

What I Want (this year)

• Feathered middle toe
• Vulture Hocks
• Mottling
• No blue ears
• Red eyes
• (Hens) brown red on the hackles
• (Roosters) brown red on the hackles and saddle. No buff Columbian on the breast.

I will definitely get updated pictures of the hens before I sale them.
