OMELETTE, my multiple egg hen and her beau STUD are out in the new aviary and having fun.

Here is Omelette and Stud in their topic

Out of 30 eggs Omelette laid and all fertile, we have 15 chicks. Would have had 30 if the various foster parents had done their job.

So, in the aviary with Omelette and Stud is 11 of their children and there is another two in the kindie cage and another two in a foster nest.

Here is some pictures of the family.

Omelette ( cinnamon grey green opaline hen ) and Stud ( green normal )

beautiful chicks Kaz...glad I can say I didn't have 15 kids

this one reminds me of Merlin (not color) but face and body structure.

You can be sure Elly that if I put Merlin in a showcage and took him to a show he would win a prize for sure

there is also two babies in the kindie cage but I ran out of camera memory so didnt get them today

Great to see the family pics.

 

I am seeing a lot of hens in those pics. Very good. Much needed

Really happy about the hen quota Dave

I bet - only problem is that they are all related. If only you had given me some to take home. i think I had one or two spare spaces

hahahaha Dave.

Would you like me to look after them for you until you come back??

 

Looking great Kaz

Have lots of Gary Armstrong cocks to go to them later. Also have Studs brother, and Omelette's brother etc.....get them breeding too and bring the kids all together later on

hahahaha Dave.Would you like me to look after them for you until you come back?? :lol:Looking great Kaz

A bit more growing to do...fingers crossed they look okay at the end of it.

They are all looking so wonderful! I love seeing their progress shots. I bet they are loving the flight space in the aviary. Well done getting so many quality hens too

They are looking great Kaz, should have some winners on your hands

If nothing else, Splat, I have good breeding stock out of them

omelette = best purchase ever!!!!!!

I think she was worth her $235. BUT credit to STUD also....he fills every egg. He cost me $40.

fertility is genetic too :nest: :nest:

Gary Armstrong bloodlines....you have some now too. Fertility is good in Armstrong bloodlines

hmmm I wonder what he does that gives them such good fertility??

hmmm I wonder what he does that gives them such good fertility??

He culls the family lines that dont have good fertility and keeps the lines that do

thats logical

Omlett is the best ever name KAZ why didn't I think of It??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she lays lots of eggs and you could make an omlette out of all them?
