Our run is 75% covered with pretty decent drainage so doing OK, birds stayed in most of the day.

How's everyone holding up with all this rain though? My runs are decently flooded... I swear we're mulching the darn things this year.
Google lies all the time!Hey all it's Hatching Day! And something funny just happened.
Good news, there's one out already and she's in the brooder hopping around like a goof ball, and two starting to pip. (Slightly bad news, there's one that hatched still in the incubator with a big yolk sac and I have a funny feeling she died because I can't see her breathing).
The funny thing... Remember how I said this was supposed to be a Red Sex Link project? Apparently, the information that Google gave me when I was trying to double-check exactly what the cross I needed was, was incorrect.
I have a Rhode Island Red Roo x Barred Rock Hens.... I accidentally have Black Stars. Thankfully still what I need and still beautiful! But not what I thought I was breeding
Ahhhh okay see that is a lot easier to understand than the very technical article I found yesterday while trying to figure out what I did.Google lies all the time!
Your cross creates "Black Sexlinks". To make "Red Sexlinks", you need to use a hen that has the Silver gene. These often appear white and the Rhode Island White is most often used commercially as the female side of a red sexlink hybrid.
