Thanks!

Between moving birds around and cooler temps, I`m not getting any eggs at this time.

Cool, Garret. I'm gld I'm not the only one with chicks on the ground this late. Those game hens make life a lot easier than keeping a brooder running, huh? I really like those Tuzo fowl. Wish I knew more about them.

I'm in Tennessee I hatched 15 chicks was not a good idea have chicks free range .
On this season only one hen had kept four chickens and I believe is because she is my golden brooder.

Thanks Clint! I normally don`t hatch this late but these little birds are new to me and she went broody so I let have a go at it. It was her 1st time and as soon as the 3 hatched she abandon the nest. I sure she will do better next Spring.

Here is a link about Tuzo if you want to read up on them......

Ya'll aren't the only ones hatching late. I had a black cubalaya hen from Virgina that decided to go broody, so I let her have the 5 eggs. I think she was mostly being bred by my dark BBR stag, 3/4 cubalaya, 1/4 Thai



I have an out door broody box with a small attached run. I put a heat lamp in the brooder and they seem to be doing fine.

That could potentially make some nice black reds.

If you're asking me, someone told you wrong. I have no Malay at all, but I do have cushion combed grade cubalayas that someone might have mistaken for malays.?
