About 3 weeks ago, we swapped some oat feed for 6 fertilised eggs at the Collingwood Children’s Farm.
Here is a photo of the living result! One egg didn’t develop at all, and I found one egg in the nest a couple of days ago with a perfect chick, but dead. So, 4 chicks from 6 eggs is a pretty good result.
I think the chicks are a Salmon Faverolle, on the right, with the feathered foot, and the other yellow chick is Light Sussex. The brown chicks are either Black Orpington or a Brown or Black Leghorn – any expert opinion greatly appreciated! They were hatched and are being mothered by Queenie, our Barnevelder. Queenie hatched our last Salmon Faverolle, Fifi.
