My kid was raised on Old Navy. I loved that the clothes looked trendy but didn't cost a fortune. Then he finally started developing his own style and didn't like Old Navy anymore (probably around grade 3 I guess). First he wanted the big athletic brands, ball shorts, Jordons, Currys, etc, I...
Is Old Navy not cool anymore? That is where I buy all of my nephews’ Christmas and birthday stuff. I think their clothes are affordable and hold up pretty well without costing a fortune.
I chatter on and on to my husband about genetics and putting this bird with that bird and yada yada. He just mmmhmms and humors me because he doesn’t grasp as much of the genetics stuff as I tend to geek out on. lol
There are 5 White Leghorn chicks total now to make a grand total of 9. 2 of the WL chicks are still wet in the incubator. It’s looking like only one egg that made it to lockdown won’t hatch. Not too shabby.
The little F1 Buff x Incomplete BTR is definitely my favorite in the bunch (means its a rooster and/or it will surely die). It is definitely fully columbian. Its hatch down color is so striking! Look at him now that he has completely fluffed out. He has some lighter buff/silvery areas of...
Im thinking the F1 Buff x Incomplete BTR with the least markings is complete columbian. The other looks more like an incomplete columbian with the split wheaten base disrupting the wild type down pattern but complete columbian would remove most of the down pattern. 🧐
So far there are 6 but I saw at least one more pipped egg when I snatched these out real quick.
Ended up with 2 F1 Buff x incomplete BTR (I have been saying Buff/Red but the pullet the Buff cockerel is over is actually incomplete BTR from this pen. So pardon me for that. These have a split...
The other F1 Buff/Red egg is pipped. I only had 2 of those and 2 of the Crele to develop out of this first batch. I am not worried as much about hatching the from the whites. We just threw those in just because they were laying. I am mainly focused on hatching from the project lines, and 2/2...
Mind you, the parents of the White Leghorn eggs in my incubator were born on June 2(Foghorn’s group from MM). So they went from being chicks themselves to producing chicks in 6 months. 🥰
We got 12 “straight run” Speckled Sussex chicks one year and there was only one pullet in the bunch. Then last year we hatched very rooster heavy, and when I ordered those straight run Silvers from MM, 12/14 were roosters. That was pretty suspicious though. I wouldn’t put it past a hatchery...
