I'm at college but I told my mom to take the eggs away from the broody belgian. The only male in my coop is my HUGE blue sumatra so I didn't think they would be fertile because the belgians are tiny. Guess I was wrong. My mom left the eggs with her and they hatched! Boy, are they going to be...
I got my chicks from Ideal friday! A few people were interested in how the brown reds would turn out so I will update on here. I only ordered 5 'cause i was curious about them and one failed to thrive so i have 4 healthy ones now.
the other chicks are lav d'uccles and blue belgian quail d'anvers.
He will be a year old in August. The first few pics are of him and the last two are of his parents. He looks a little ragged from winter in the pics. I need to cut down on my roosters.
pick up only.
