Absolutely! He's my sweet, loveable boy! I don't think there's a tom like him anywhere lol. The two bigger poults he was parenting were not broody raised, they were just added to the flock young. He started caring for them when the weather turned cold again and they weren't used to it. He...

Thank you! I only keep the pullets. The cockerels grow up with the same similar shape but with a barred feather pattern, getting the copper infused hackle and saddle feathers as they age (they're actually pretty cool looking). I don't have plans to move forward to F3 Olive eggers. These girls...

Hi all! I thought I would just drop in and share a picture of my F2 Olive egger pullets. First gen was cream legbar x welbar. Second gen was obviously BCM over the first gen pullets. I'm happy with the way they look. Hoping for some gorgeous Olive eggs!

I'm sure I wouldn't disappear completely. I may have to keep my Marans roo to keep making F2 Olive eggers. I definitely need to get a pic of those little pullets for you guys! They are very pretty! They are black, with almost a mossy look with bright copper hackles and a crest! One of the...

That's why I will never live in Minnesota lol

Lol, they're plenty warm and used to it. Even the silkies and Seramas are doing good but they're all in their pens with plastic around the runs to block the wind. Eggs are fertile and developing just not hatching so I think you were right before about needing some vitamins (just the Marans, the...

This is what it looks like here. Mine have been mating, the eggs just aren't all hatching.

The fertility started off great the first couple hatches (December and early January) but then dropped off suddenly. They're fertile and developed, just not hatching. Maybe because of the cold weather and when I collect them, they're weaker? I don't know. I've been contemplating selling off my...

Lately my Marans haven't been hatching well. They've been developing just fine but not hatching :/ I think I had 8 DIS this past hatch and only 4 or 5 actually hatch.

Thank you and your welcome :) This is my favorite boy right now. I'm not entirely sure what he would be considered but the penciling is amazing. His name is Phil No. That crossing also produces red bronze and red bronze do not breed true. Breeding red bronze to red bronze would produce...

Red bronze is usually created by crossing bourbon red with bronze. This is my red bronze hen, Sweet Pea. She is actually eastern wild x bourbon red.

X2! I had my first poults of the year hatch on Thursday with more hatching every week. Bourbon reds, royal palms, penciled and red bronze. I love turkeys lol

Thank you :) this is only my second time raising up quail but last time, I was able to just keep them in with them with no terrible till it was time for them to go their seperate ways outside. I like raising different sized, aged, and types of chicks together. It seems to make them more...

Any with green zip ties on their legs are olive eggers but there's only 4 of them in there. The other 6 are BCM. Don't mind any photo bombing quail...

My Marans roo did good. I now have 6 BCM babies and 8 OE. I'll get pictures later. A broody turkey has adopted the 4 OE cockerels that hatched. She can amuse herself with them until spring swaps start. A lot more BCM babies are due in the coming weeks! These girls have already proven themselves...

Maybe :)

There is a new BCM baby in the Bator! There's a few more eggs due so I'll get pictures once everyone's done hatching :)

Happy New year and happy hatching! I have BCM and OE in lockdown too, due on the first and then every Friday after that. I'm excited and curious to see how they turn out!

Merry Christmas everyone!

She's gorgeous! If she were mine, I'd be trying to use her to create more like her!
