We have named the rosecomb cockerel. His name is Reaper (hatched on Halloween) he's also trying out for the kicker of the NFL team the Ravens. Lol.

Lol that's how I ended up with Orpingtons!

Yes the ears are very pretty on rosecombs! Photo bomb. 😭 And Dusty, I miss you!

Yes we are in a heat wave and hit or near hitting records right now. Humidity is also very high yet not much raining going on.

Should have gotten baby pics the other day when it was clean. I'll get some Sunday or Monday. Also have you ever had issues with babies gaining weight? Or not eating much but still being very active? I ask because I feel the keel bones on all of them even the ones I moved out to the adult...

Either blue Dutch or blue rosecomb that ended up with a straight comb. Alot of the rosecombs I've gotten that are hatchery-quality or backyard quality end up with straight combs.

Oh no! Sorry for your loss.

Maybe I should just make blue egg laying Phoenixs.

I've only sold mine for $10 to $5 and a discount if they buy them all. Biggest interest was in the Phoenix roosters and cockerels.

I have at the moment counting chicks over 100. Even with my losses. In two weeks time I'll be offering up the ones we aren't keeping for sale. Will be out of town this next weekend or I would be shooting for then to try selling them.

LOL. I feel or resemble that wanting to do too much at once 2ndTink. I am really trying to talk myself down from all the different breeds I have and into focusing on one color. Its very very hard to do!

Your babies are so cute! I've been having heat issues! Its been so hot that the babies need to be checked 3 or more times a day on water because of them kicking bedding into it. I'm getting some constipation in them because of this. Paying my friend to come over on my work days to check them...

Ewe coons! It's good you've not lost any birds. Hope you get everything fixed up enough to deter them. Awwww babies! I'm looking forward to not hatching anything else till maybe August/September. Will be getting some Spitzhauben eggs and maybe bantam polish and more silver and blue Ameraucana...

This is what I have for set up. For just one acer of land. I think we are going to try running 4 strands on the 6 foot fencing. I have the grounding rods but need to get the wire and the hardware for attachment to the fence. Will only be turned on at night for a reason. It's way more powerful...

My next steps are electric fencing around the whole of the acer that gets turned on at night and a video/ camera system eventually.

I watched a coon once take eggs back to hiddy hole to eat them. None broken till it got back to the safe place.

Woo hoo pips! And bad varmits! I stayed up to late and ket thinking I was hearing chicks in the hatcher that I have off right now for cleaning 🙃.

She is a sebright and the more research I do the more I find out they are very game bird like.

Yeah. She would get close to the hardware cloth divider and kind act like she wanted to mother them but I found her on the other side slinging one around. :barnie I have two more troughs coming and she is in the old brooder I built for now and unable to leave it as I put the wire top on it.

So the last rosecomb hatched Sunday night. The others, five rosecomb and one Dusty was left. Two of the five rosecomb quit I would guess at draw down and the other three after the internal pip. The Dusty egg quit before or during draw down. Also lost a silkie chick. I think Dr Girl friend may...
