Mate, what does it look like? any chance of a pic? We've only managed to hatch 2 so far, but the season is still very early.

 Re: crow wing dark red chicks?
the chick on the right is what I’ve had hatch 100% last year this year I bred a brother and sister so I can see how pure to colour my original stock is so I guess this chick is taking after a cross that was made before I got my brood stock or its a recessive gene coming out due to inbreeding? it was the only one out of 10 chicks with this colour.
