They look to be good quality chooks. You shouldn't have any trouble selling some. If you are trimming the wings, I recommend only doing one wing as that will unbalance them and make flying difficult.\ If you do both wings they learn to compensate.

Both incubators are full again. This time Light Sussex, Indian Game and 3rd cross Olive Eggers. Last week I hatched 50 Araucanas.

At last, A little baby girl.

Great photo! xxxx

Just as a change from chooks, I have some other babies.

Rightio! Let's see if this stops the bloody crows from pinching my eggs.

My latest Olive Egger egg from 2nd generation hens. Compared with an Araucana egg and a first generation cross.

Some photos of some of my Araucanas. Very difficult to photograph as they never stay still for an instant. The younger generation. Not a chook of course, but the dear old dog turned 14 two days ago. xxxxxx

Very well. My current 4 breeding pens are the best quality birds I have ever produced. And I have 30 of their chicks coming along nicely at 4 weeks of age. xxxx M

I always deep litter it. Clean it all out a bout once a year.
