hi everyone
i have just had my latest hatch of chicks CPQ,.
i've had good success with them, 48 eggs 39 chicks
i hatched all my colours
the thing i think is a bit strange is, i have a white chick with red eyes,
i have never heard of an ALBINO white CPQ
has anyone else heard of this or seen one

Hi Keef,

Maybe this sight could throw some light on your "albino"?

it happens from time to time with all animals keef (even in humans). its a pigment in there genes, its not that rare in birds, as they are constant breeders!

good luck with the chicks
