How are the chicks doing that took an extra week to hatch? Did you do any troubleshooting on the incubator?

They'd be right on time for turkeys! Do you know if the temperature was normal or if the incubator could have malfunctioned and cooler than normal?

Sorry to hear that! Sounds like big set back. Do you still have the fayoumis? I'm curious if they'll live up to the hype of being Marek's resistant

Is there any chance the coon and possum could've climbed a tree and gotten out through the treetops ?

A few years ago my boss mowed over a turkey nest while mowing hay. I took the unbroken eggs and put them under a broody chicken hen. They had a little trouble communicating, but she raised them ok. They were extremely flighty but roosted in the trees right outside the coop. They foraged with the...

I had trouble when I set some gamefowl eggs and some regular layer breed eggs under the same broody. The layer breed chicks were slower than the gamefowl, so the broody just focused her care on the gamefowl. One by one the slower chicks disappeared until there was only gamefowl left.

If a few survive, I wonder what you'd end up with if you repeated it for several generations.

Are they much different from them blueface in temperament or physically?

Are the birds you refer to as " Hatch " your blueface?

I need to try this on my blueface. They're not laying very well. If I do I'll let you know the results.

Lanky sure is dedicated! Hopefully he will still cover the other hens on free range

Can or will you be using him in your breeding project?

You mentioned Shadow has brooded chicks . Has she taught her night foraging habits to her offspring?

Beautiful hens! Is that a little bit of barring on the wing of the cracker / Indo hen? Reminds me of a turkey wing

Not necessarily a vampire but it's night-ish

Shadow? As a name suggestion for Indo's sister

Azog to Indo's sister to concentrate the liege size, and Indo to the American aseel to get bigger wings . That's probably what I would try, at least with the genetics you have on hand, but I'm far from an expert on genetics

I was thinking maybe you could try artificial breeding but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be successful if still shows no interest, especially if he's in poor health. Just trying to figure out a way to save his genes....

Is Azog still too young to be breeding hens?

Sorry to hear that! Hopefully it's just something minor. If it is Marek's, it's ironic that it started in the fayoumis coup.
