Our new babies. Breeding project.

Our take

Get ready to meet our newest feathered friends from our latest breeding project! Out of the five eggs we incubated, we welcomed three adorable chicks into the world. While one little one never made it to the hatching party, and I had to lend a helping hand to assist another, we're thrilled to introduce our two Game Brahma chicks and one Gameraucana! For those new to our flock, the proud mamas are a Dark Brahma and a Silver Ameraucana, while their dashing dad is a green-legged gamefowl with some seriously strong genes. All three chicks share a striking resemblance, but the Game Brahma chicks sport feathered legs, while our Gameraucana keeps it sleek and simple.

Out of the 5 of our eggs we incubated, these are the three chicks. One never internally pipped and the other never externally pipped. I had to assist hatch one of these. Unfortunately didn’t catch the 4th in time. BUT! I present our 2 Game Brahma chicks and 1 Gameraucana! For those new here the mothers are a Dark Brahma and a Silver Ameraucana. The father is a green legged gamefowl and BOY are his genes strong because all 3 of these babies look pretty much the same! Only difference is the Game Brahma chicks have feathered legs and the Gameraucana doesn’t. Very cool! Can’t wait to see how they develop and look as they age! The Gameraucana is the one with the little leg band.

Update on the babiesUpdate on the babies dubbed the “Game Brahmas” and the solo “Gameraucana”. 5 & 6 days old. In the video first is the Game Brahma rooster, 6 days old. Followed by the Game Brahmas Hen also 6 days old. 2 layer of wing feathers and tail feathers already developing where the little roo (who hatched first) has less developed wing feathers and no signs of tail feathers yet. Both have feathered legs. Third we have the “Gameraucana” hen. Also has double layered wing feathers and tail feathers coming in. No feathered legs. All 3 have muffs/ beards and relatively the same markings so I’m going to say our Game Roo dad has some STRONG genes as they don’t look like their mothers when they were chicks. Can’t wait to see how they develope! submitted by /u/Safe_Letterhead543 [link] [comments]
