Sibachian#backyardchicken foxes has taken 9 of my chicken. just now took my best rooster... all that's left is 7 birds - 5 ga h'mong, 1 paduan (infertile hen), and a hybrid rooster (who's mean and I was going to remove...) ๐๐
In the latest hatch experiment (f2) two came out with fluffy cheeks ๐คฃ no idea where that trait comes from! the white feathered one is of particular curiosity as it has a sort of "white coat" on top of its base black.
looking forward to see what they will turn out as once fully adults!
Sibachianin the end, 8/12 baby #chicks survived past their first day - best fertility, hatch and mortality rate i ever had.

Probably the most interesting photo i've seen this year, very mixed feelings ๐ฌ๐
No chicken were harmed. They got the fox out before things got nasty. Apparently there was even a hen sleeping in the box with the fox.

Not the best photo but my paduan x ga h'mong cross turned out pitch black! and it looks like one of the so far two chicks have the paduan tuff! Very exciting! ๐
Optimal outcome would be the temperament, egg color and broodiness of the ga h'mong with the egg size and tuff of the paduan. The plan down the road, if this project succeeds, is to attempt to add Maran dark brown eggs gene onto my breed.

RangOur chickens, ducks and rabbits live together in one big pen. Itโs very relaxing to watch them!
