    There were several non-naked necked pullet chicks hatched from the Red Necker project in the incubator, but so far only one true Red Necker pullet with a NN. Hopefully more to hatch! :wee

    Finally a little pullet Red Necker chick!! Here are some pics of a Red Necker pullet and cockerel for comparison. You can see how their down pattern allows for autosexing at hatch. The pics don’t show the little pullet’s naked neck well but she is definitely a naked necker. I love it! They...

    Yeah AI is destroying everything for real. You won’t even be able to recognize people you havent seen in a while because they put AI version pictures of themselves as profile pics and catfish everybody. It’s a mess, and fake. Everything is fake anymore. :old I hope my words are wording...

    Thank you! He knows he is handsome and it’s so annoying! 😆😆😆😆 He does not understand what personal space is. But at least he is sweet. In a dirty randy turkey sort of way. lol

    Here are a few pictures of my painted birds I have on my phone. I am leaving them as thumbnails as to not clog up the thread too much. I recently sold the black painted and grizzled black painted toms, but kept both of my chocolate painted toms. We ate the black tuxedo tom. Some of those...

    They don’t breed true, that is correct. They can throw Mottled Bronze, so technically a Mottled Bronze is a variation of the Painted gene (cm). Two painted birds will throw painted, grizzled black painted, fawn, mottled bronze, black tuxedos, and white. Factor in slate or chocolate and you...

    The first few chicks have hatched. They are still wet but looks like a White Leghorn chick, a Red Necker cockerel chick (naked necked), and a Red Necker project pullet chick (non-naked necked). Any non-naked necked pullet will strictly be a layer. Non-naked necked cockerels will be culled out...

    This is Jack. I think he is a little “touched,” as the old timer holler people would say. His elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top, you know what I’m saying? Not the sharpest tool in the shed, kinda thing. 😅

    I wish anything sold well in my area. The druggies will try to steal anything they can get ahold of, but nobody wants to pay a decent price for anything. I live in a very poor rural area in Kentucky. I do wear shoes and have all my teeth though, guys I promise. Not running around barefoot...

    I sure will! I hear some faint chirping coming from the incubator now so hopefully Wednesday I will have some Red Necker project chicks. 🥰

    Probably not. They are just something fun I am working on mainly for myself. I will share them with friends and stuff, but likely won't try to sell any. This year is the BC1 cross (first backcross to Legbar). Long story: The White NN rooster we had was heterozygous dominant white and he...

    I love a sustainable chicken flock. We feed them every day but mainly they get most of their nourishment from constantly foraging and scratching.

    Only the female chicks will be chocolate since this is a sex-linked cross. So you would have a mix of single barred chocolate cuckoos on at least a split partridge base. Some of the pullets will be blue chocolate cuckoos. The males will be single barred cuckoos and single barred blue cuckoos...
