Considering ordering some Muscovy eggs. I’ll be out of town from days 18-23ish and I’m wondering if I can dry hatch them (but increase humidity at lockdown) so I don’t have to worry about the humidity while I’m gone. The humidity would naturally be around 25% in my incubator. Thanks.

Playing around some more on porter’s… this poult looks very similar to a Jersey buff. I just have no idea how that would be happening.

Well. Upon looking at pics of bronze hens I don’t think she is one. Maybe a golden narrigansett? I still don’t see a match for her poults on porters calculator. lol. Weird. Unless it’s a very diluted rusty slate or very diluted rusty black. Hmm.

Oh! What do you think she is? I got her as an assortment and assumed she was a Narrigansett. Could she be a bronze? If my memory serves me correctly I don’t think bronze was an option in the assortment but who knows.

I have a blue slate tom that I am crossing over my Narragansett hen. Porters turkey calculator says this should be producing barred slate and barred black poults but I am getting these light brown/yellowy looking poults. I don’t know what breed to label it. Any ideas? Posting pics of poult...

They are just splash

What does it give you? I’ve been trying to figure that out lol. But I thought I had read it would give all blue coppers.

He has the slate feet as he should, but he has a lot of yellowish feathers that I'm not sure he should. He came from Murray McMurray. I planned to breed him to FBCM hen, splash marans hens for blue copper marans, and to whiting true blue and cream Legbar hens for olive eggers.

My Narragansett hen has a few of these weird yellowish bumps on her head along with some yellow residue. Is this the start of fowl pox? Or something else? Is there anything I should be doing for her? She is with another hen and a Tom who do not currently have these bumps.

It’s about the size of a chicken egg. I feel like that is small for a turkey but I’m not sure?

I’ve googled and can’t seem to find an answer. Is it wise to incubate a turkeys very first egg? I’m waiting on my Narragansett to lay a few more, but wondering if this one can be included in the hatch. It seems a bit small to me but not sure as this is my first experience with heritage breeds.

Would the barring on the Narragansett feathers indicate Tom?

Still no displaying or strutting. The Bourbon is losing feathers at base of neck though. Toms or hens?

Thanks for this. If I have any more start hunching, I will put them on heat.

Well just got home from work and unfortunately, they have both passed. Hopefully this will be the only casualties.

Update. Today is day 3 on corid, day 2 of giving oral drench to my cochin and barred rock. Fully prepared that I might lose the cochin. Not seeing anymore bloody stools at all but she is not perking up yet. She had been drinking water on her own, this morning she doesn't even want to do that...

I’m not seeing any fresh bloody poo in the run today. So maybe? Her energy hasn’t improved much though. I gave her a drench earlier this evening.

Thanks. I did that earlier… to my Cochin and a barred rock that are pretty lethargic. Those two will drink water today but no interest in food. Just standing around fluffed up.

bump. anyone?
