Larkwell Valley (2023)

Sexlink male:

Brahma Bantam:

Naked Neck and a Naked Neck/EExcochin bantamxAmeraucana: The Naked Neck is hopefully a pullet and the cross is definitely a little boy. He may be introduced to the Bachelor pen when he's older if he behaves.

Incase yall didn't realize, it's cleaning day for the pens.

Splash Marans pair. Samwell and Peaches. I've toyed with purchasing another pullet next year if they have one avaliable, just not sure its worth the cost of the bird plus shipping. A batch of chicks would be cheaper, but I don't feel like culling a ton of birds later just for one or two more girls

Then there is Falcon in the middle picture too. She seems to like hanging out with Peaches

This NN in the pic is a definite pullet. Female specific pattern.

Whoot! That's what I was going on, but I'm better with male specifics than female specifics. I have one more that I'm thinking is a girl, but she has foot issues right now so I'm waiting until it's certain how she's gonna progress before getting attached

An araucana pair! Look at Bunny's tufts!

There's the sexlink hen and Falcon again too

Cochins
French Paul

Cochin Mama who is now going to her 10th spring and as of last year, still making healthy babies

And then Mordred, my failed sexlink

Cool flock and lots of neat birds! Following.

Chuckles: Look how intimidating he thinks he is!

Giggles, or 'The bird that never shuts up'

Fun story, these two are unrelated entirely despite looking the exact same almost

Gotta start picking out who's staying in the silkie pen. I have one with a slight beak deformation, so he's going. I'll try to keep the little partridge chick to keep that color. The hens and David are all staying. Hope to keep 2 males from the current batch. Rest will be processed most likely.

The Buff and white hens that aren't in a single shot are staying too.

Wouldn't mind learning vent sexing myself..it would be nice to know when I hatch off that it's a male right away so I can segregate and fatten right away
