    and in terms of advancing my project, unless the bird in front shows some pattern in the next few weeks, its going to freezer camp. I have anotheer whose pattern is black, not brown. Freezer Camp. The others are varying degrees of "possibly", depending largely on gender. I have eyes on a...

    To either demonstrate that: A) with enough time, stubbornness, and good advice from the people here on BYC that you could eventually turn sub-par into good for you. - or - B) that even with enough time, stubbornness, and good advice from the people here on BYC, sub-par will remain largely...

    I figure if it wasn't smart enough not to wedge itself behind the heat plate, it likely would not have been smart enough to survive on my free range pasture.

    It is or will be period and not much news, at least not much good news. One of the hatchlings decided to wedge itself behind the heat plate overnight didn't make it other they are doing fine.

    We are goign to fill two flats of eggs for our neighbors (to eat), then start a new hatch. That should give me an extra 10-14 days between hatches as well, so I won't need to have the two batches sharing one space at any point. Assuming, of course, I get the shade tarps up for the goats - who...

    Yes. I've had 2 cups of coffee, and #9 hatched. Another chipmunk, but darker. No black per se, but the whole chick looks blacker, if that makes any sense. My eyes were having trouble processing. Suspect it will be one of my birds that shows less and less red over time/more cover than...

    Good mix of hatchling colors and patterns. I like having options, though the "chipmunk" tend to be the best looking birds as adults. Curious about the one with the dark spot on his head like a chipmunk, but no obvious stripes on the back. The other two chipmunks, one has a crisp set of...
