I think Raven is committed this time, she's been sitting on eggs since yesterday morning. If so, what timing is that? 🤣 I've had the shipped eggs in incubator since yesterday, but I'm thinking give her another day or 2 to be for positive and if she is, give her the shipped eggs. 🙂

Yes, the 7 week olds are all sired by Kong. Angel, Raven and Copper sired by King. So I'm unclear if any chicks hatching from Kong x Angel could still throw Kings issues. I haven't done any Kong x Raven or Copper yet. I've got 9 more of Kong x Angels eggs under Joannie because I only got the 1-...

Kong, King, Joannie, Jett and Betty came from Meyers as day olds. Ordered 1 male, 4 females but...I'm sure their not related. Here's a couple pics of Prince (Kings son) before I re-homed him last year.

Yes, parasitic.. it gets confusing still at times. Thanks for the explanation again. Meyers hatchery in Ohio, been 4 yrs now so I don't know the quality anymore, but I do have a (I believe 2.40 credit there still) with King being my accidental roo. Your insight and suggestions is always very...

Speckled birds and speckled eggs for sure...👍 Any idea why none of the Marans eggs hatched? I don't remember if you said.

Thank you very much... You've pointed out some I already knew of course but some I didn't and that helps me to see in him what I should be looking at in others. I'll let it sink in and may have more questions I'm sure. His width is the main fix I need to concentrate on if I'm working with him...

Spot !! Looks like he's trying to catch a burst of air to lift off...🤣

And a few of the 7 week olds

Took all these today also 🙂

@BlueTheBrahma Here ya go... Describe away ! 🤣

Well said...... 👍

On that theme can you imagine if someone came here and started talking bad about 'Lady' my Isa Brown. She's head hen of the mixed flock and the last remaining of our very first chickens. "New information is coming to the news room over a fight occuring over a chicken, sources say one person has...

Yes, I know and I didn't mean it to come off all "You better not talk bad about my chicken, or your gonna get it !!" 🤣 It did sound that way, tho.

By all means, explain away. Give your color shade # guess also. Here's her egg color, my darkest layer + twice broody now + head hen and just to recap, Angel (daughter, King x Joannie) was @Chooksman favorite. Now that it's Kong x Joannie the only 2 boys (7 wk olds) I have are from her but over...

7 week old pics are coming soon. I snatched up a couple of them yesterday to check leg bands and their close to needing rebanding. I gave the ones I got ahold of a look over and some still have the (mottling?) back feathers. But also Joannie's pullets are developing more copper in the hackles...

@BlueTheBrahma would you give Kong a full review? I can either repost last year's pics or try to get up to date pics. I've noticed recently he's developed a lone white feather in his left wing since his last molt, thinking he should lose it in his next molt but unclear what it means if it grows...

I fixed that for you. 👆

Wow...♥️ Congrats

I started a photo dump thread if any one would like to chime in, but everyone here has already seen all the pics coming so, yeah.. Smart aleck comments are always welcome, tho. 🤣 https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/wraths-marans.1625296/

Montana to Michigan... Roughly 1,442 miles. Shipped Monday. Post office called at 10am. So 2 days, Priority. All the brown spots I ever saw on mine were OE's...🤣
