    How about, Blue hen, Black daddy(Grrr on the comb)... O.O where'd the white chick come from? The NN is from Nube who's in another pen..I let this hen raise some babies I hatched inside because her eggs were failing.. after raising those tots, she went broody and hatched 8/8 of her own eggs...

    Well, I was wanting silver partridge to breed. But the silver just somehow didn't show up in any of General Lee's offspring. Now It's popping up generations later.. Not ever sure General Lee is in the tree at this point.

    Can someone confirm if this is a paint? Only black feathers are a few in each wing. 3 weeks old. The only hen I have that produces white is Nube, Showgirl. I put Smokey, Black with gold in the collar in the pen but she didn't seem interested in him at all. Maybe they were being sneaky?

    I moved 6 chicks out to Blue Bonnet, who had been sitting for just over 3 weeks, this morning 1 chick was with her, and the other 5 were in the adjacent pen with two mommas who had been busy hatching their eggs. Oh, lord...we got us a chick snatching duo. One hen went back on the nest, while...
