Posted May 3, 201015 yr I put the white DF spangle cock I got from member Splat with this grey hen bred by Cec Gearing recently. Came home from a couple of days away and found their first two chicks in their nestbox. As I recall there were around 6 eggs and most were fertile ( will double check the other eggs tomorrow to be sure as I am going off what I saw last time I candled ) . She is the mother of chicks.....Frannie, Mac and Nubbly. Edited May 3, 201015 yr by KAZ

May 5, 201015 yr Can't wait to see them feathered, have my fingers they turn out like their parents either parent will be great, bothe have good directional feather. I called in to Geoffs today to see my 3 babies, the 2 violet hens are looking good, excited about one of them looks promising. I would like their heads wider but I will just have to wait and see, the spangle isn't bad either, they are from 2 differnt nest. Can't wait for to leave the nest so I can bring them home. They are only about 3 1/2 weeks old so a little while yet. Sorry no pics as I have no camera still.
May 6, 201015 yr Author Three chicks Third chick died......you may notice from the dates that the third chick arrived a day too early. It wasnt ready. Yellowbelly from early hatching. Other two are growing very well. Quite large chicks for their age. I think only one more to hatch. Edited May 6, 201015 yr by KAZ
May 9, 201015 yr Author I think the poor little buggar,was over exposed. Another chick hatched and the pair now also have a couple of foster chicks. A novice hen wasnt feeding her babies correctly and she let a couple die so I had to move three. One of those died though. So there are five in that nest.............it seems three of the foster parents chicks and two fosters. Edited May 9, 201015 yr by KAZ
