No 8 arrived this morning, from a very cold egg! I didn't hold out any hope for it, but she pushed it back under her, with a positive result. Today they are outdoors, in a little hut which is ideal, she is spread like a large yellow pancake over them all.
All seem healthy and lively. (ATM).

My Silkie Lottie yesterday hatched 8 little Lottie/Pierres, dad is my lemon cuckoo Pekin. I will be interesting to see how different they will be from each other, and if there are many differences. Both are lovely birds, and if anyone on the forum feels the need they are welcome to have one of them ...

Lots of them look like gamebirds.

Could throw a very wild guess and say bantam buff Sussex.

Just this week lost my last Ancona girl - nearly 5.
Loved her to bits, just be prepared for the noise, though if you have not had Anconas before, great layers, and forever telling everyone off. She was still laying when she died.

Sorry, no idea, lovely chick though.

I keep Pekins, and just love them to bits!

I have black, black mottled, millefleur, white, lemon cuckoo, lavender and blue. In all 11, I have just lost my beautiful red.

Lovely, lovely rain!

Very welcome, come back, rumble of thunder, flash of lightning and down it came!!

Absolutely delightful line up!

Hello hipchick, Yes, Redstop does work thankfully, I've just used it as the final solution as my girls were really suffering, one very large coop, and a much smaller one not infected, until the little b.....s decided that they had had enough of constant bombardment and decamped to the smaller coop. ...
