    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    So the final hatch rate and count was 32/38 white leghorns hatched and 16/16 Red Neckers hatched. Final hatch rate is 90%. My husband took the White Leghorn chicks to his friend so the brooder is much less full now. lol The remaining white chicks are recessive white Red Neckers, (one white...

    There is a somewhat easier option but it requires a breed that is a little more difficult (more like expensive) to obtain, and that is a 55 Flowery Hen. They have mottling and more closely resemble a Leghorn in their characteristics than a SS. Greenfire Farms has them but you can find hatching...

    5 more white leghorn chicks hatched. I have no clue how many total there are but there was only 6 eggs left in the incubator out of all of these chicks that didnt hatch. Pretty good if I do say so myself. 😎

    This picture illustrates dominant white vs recessive white chick down color. The chipmunk pattern is faintly seen in the recessive white chick. This chick is likely female.

    Naked Neck/Turken Thread

    My goal for the Red Necker project is to mate a naked necked male and female sibling together with the best down color for autosexing. All chicks will be wing banded and followed to see if the autosexing is accurate. So looking forward to seeing how they grow out. I will post pics here as...

    Naked Neck/Turken Thread

    I am dabbling in a crested naked necked easter egger project just for my own use and enjoyment. I have been calling them Red Neckers. Long story short, a double barred appearing naked necked cockerel chick cropped up in a group of mixed yard eggs I hatched for a friend last spring. He hatched...

    I will when I’m not feeling so crappy. I am barely limping through my shift tonight. This respiratory bug is doing a number on me. 😷🤒💊 I am wearing a mask as to not infect my patients but I probably should have called in. 😵 Whatever virus it is is burning through our unit and I’m the 3rd...

    I think I laughed way too hard at this but I am sleep deprived and going to work tonight sick and souped up on Sudafed and cold medicine. 💊 🤒 😷 But I wanted to share. It’s hilarious. 😆 https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1AthzmZGzM/?mibextid=wwXIfr
