It hasn't been the best eggs to hatch ratio. I thought Pinky and Perky's 8 eggs to 3 chicks was poor, but Rocky and Rosie had 9 eggs to 1 chick...some how I don't think all the eggs have been incubated properly despite me removing the clear ones. Still, overall that's 4 chicks more than the turks!
Rocky and Rosie.
I can tell one of Pinky's chicks is a Rubino because it has pale eye-lids or red eyes (the one being fed below). This is the ino which will combine with rosa to give a rubino and because of the sex-linked inheritance I know it will be a hen. The other two, with dark eyes, will be visually rosa cocks split rubino.
wow, you can really see the food going down the baby's throat.
ReplyDeleteWhat is going on with the camera/box change?
ReplyDeleteSecond camera in the shed. I've got a new hen turquoisine and she's keen to breed.
