    Have you contacted them yet? They do not look like I would expect them to. So I think they are something else. What color are their legs?

    Well my BBS are laying the best they have laid in over a year. Both of the older hens stopped laying about Aug and had HARD molts. Lost almost every feather they had. Now they and their daughter is laying, I am averaging about 1.5 eggs a day.

    My BBS Orps are laying about 5 eggs a week now. My two main hens went thru a very hard molt. Imagine Fawkes on Harry Potter hard. They look so small and pathetic. Anyway, the young pullet has started laying, and I think the other molting two are trying. So since I don't want to eat...

    I had a hen go broody. She hatched out 1 chick and abandoned the nest and the chick. So I took the chick and the other egg and put them both in my bator. Now I have 2 little Borps! I have 6 more eggs in the incubator, for hatching in the next few weeks.

    Tricia~ Here are the pics I took today. Having had a chance to look at them, these actually look like they might be feathering in splash so one of my black girls must be a dark blue. Who knew... Chicks from my last hatch. My rooster, Jacob. The older chick that looked like a...

    Honestly I don't know. I have 2 that are a few mos old, and I am going by the fact that one is still mostly naked, and so figuring he is all boy. Poor little one has been adopted by a silkie to keep him warm.

    Does anyone have any pics of when they are at the 10-16 week age? I have one that has a very nice cushion, but most of the ones I am hatching the tail just doesn't look right. I would love to see teen pics and then the adult pics of the same bird if you have them. Thanks!!!!!

    Oh that is awful!!! I am so thankful that I have only lost one this year. It went from 80 to 105 in 24hrs and he had gotten heat stroke last year.

    Quote: I am really shocked it is taking these two this long to start laying, the only thing I can think is that we are now in the HOT of summer so it has their systems confused?? My blue pullet is a big "husky" girl for a bantam so that may have something to do with her no laying yet. (not...

    No fertility has been good. I did take out one of the roosters (the black whose body type was not as good as the splash) so now it is just a trio in the pen. I have 8 eggs in the incubator right now. I guess I should candle them and see what how they are growing. The heat here has slowed...
