Newest babies... Only 5 for this hen but I like the color variations. I have 2 more broodies to go and i think i am going to hang up my hatching boots for this season. These little guys are about to wear me out
That's terrible sorry for your loss. I know what its like. I lost 10 standard hens and 4 bantams earlier in the year. They just started going missing in the middle of the day and i finally saw the coyote that was the culprit! You are right predators are smarter than we think and scope out the...
She had 11 eggs and 10 hatched. Unfortunately i lost 1 chick 2days after they hatched because it got seperated from the hen. So she has nine and they are doing great. My other hen has 12 eggs they should hatch in a couple of days. I let them sit on however many they choose to. So i will keep u...
I think he is a pretty cool color and has thrown some interesting colored chicks. The man that i got him from had BTW, BTB, Mottled Black, and Grays. He just let them breed naturally and mix color.
Here is my newest hatch they are 6 days old. I can't wait to see what colors they turn out. There are six here and my other hen hatched seven and they are 4 weeks old. Life is good. :0)
Its fun to see what pops up with different colors and patterns... Its the waiting for the little eggs to pop open is whats hard lol
Good luck moomoodidy hopefully you will have some good pics to share!!
Lol i don't know but I think he or she is a keeper for me. Hopefully i will get a few babies from it and see what turns up!! Thats what i love about chickens u never know what u will get but they are all lovely!! Thanks guys
Its really weird it almost looks like it barred. I think i may have another one from another hatch thats going to be this color also. Its only about 4 days old so to tell exactly but both hatches are all from same Roo.

Can anyone tell me what color this little guy is? Or what color he will turn out to be? He or she is the only one I have this color. The mother hen is a black mottle and the rooster is colored like a gray but where the silver should be is a very rich gold.
Sorry Guys to be a Bummer ... Just had to vent. But just to send a little good news.. The 2 hens that i have left hatched 13 little babies between the 2 of them. So there is a little to smile about!! Maybe i will be able to find a new rooster to add some different genetics to the pile Lol and...
Yes it was really terrible. I have the little guys just for pets and I dont show... But i lost all but 4 of my of my flock to coyotes this year so i wanted to rebuild my flock. NEVER AGAIN FROM A HATCHERY! I know they need to make money but i knew it was to early to send chicks when they sent...
Well today was a terrible day. I recieved my 30 japs this morning and all were DOA. It was just sickening. Plus i had finals testing in my Paramedic class for this semester so my mind was not in a great state :0(
