My Easter darlins', Emmeline and her chicken, "Chicken Fred". He's an English Cuckoo Orpington from Fancy Chicks and a gentle giant.

Could the top set be Mille Fleurs? It's so hard to tell when they're babies... I don't know why I drive myself batty wondering.

Those are gorgeous!!!!

You are completely right!!! I feel like a complete newb. I looked at all the Maran photos and everything and I swear, it didn't register with me that they're feather shanked! I feel like such an idiot. I'm going to blame that one on having had five children. Yikes! So sorry!!! And I'm...

Meet Fuzz. One of the biggest characters in our flock. He was a mystery chick from McMurrays last year and he's grown into an absolute family favorite. Even when he started looking like a definite Roo, we knew he wasn't going anywhere. He was the UGLIEST juvenile chick and is now the...

We did get Marans, but not in the group photographed here. Yes, this crazy woman took photos of 124 chicks today. These guys here in this group are all feather feeted. I don't know about bantams. There are a few who are small, but I've not had a bantam before so not exactly sure what to...

#18 turned out to be a Dark Brahma Roo. He's head of the "barnyard" now and is a handsome thing!!!!

They're from Meyer (obviously - lol). I try to take photos as they grow and I like to keep track of what I purchased from where. ;) Are these Brahmas? I think these are Buff Brahmas? This one is extra feathered! They either came from Leann's Adopt Me...

Here's my collection of feather footed babies. No idea what they are, except that I think the larger groups are Brahmas. Please feel free to chime in if you know what they are! It's impossible to tell what was included as a part of Leann's Adopt Me Bargain since I ordered a couple of...

All 16 pounds worth of chicks arrived yesterday, no DOAs. That's always good news. I always make my husband open the boxes, just in case. I would hate to open it up to dead chicks everywhere. A couple of slow chickies, but everyone is eating and drinking so far. Just giving the slow ones a...

Thanks for posting this! I put in an order today for some Easter Eggers (we are in this to be able to share the beautiful eggs with friends, not much more) and on a total whim, picked up 25 of Leann's Adopt Me chicks. If we get a fun assortment to look at when they're out in the yard, the kids...

If I wasn't the worst hatcher in the WORLD (seriously, my certificate is probably in the mail...) I would be all over some of your eggs, Kim! My little fluffy AMs from your eggs have to be the cutest things ever.

This might be part of the problem. We're a drier climate here in Idaho - I might try adding a little bit of water before lockdown and maybe try to get the humidity up a bit. I did handle them WAY too often, I think. I've only opened the 2nd batch once and the 3rd batch I haven't opened at...

Well my first hatch was a blazing failure, with the exception of two adorable Lavender Ameraucana chicks. Out of 50+ eggs and $150+ in the cost of eggs for that first batch, I'm a little disappointed. I consoled myself with a pair of Cuckoo Orps that I'd been wanting. Rounds 2 and 3 are in...

In my former life (before moving up here to the middle of the mountains), I was an NCAA football photographer. I excel at catching things going reeeeeaaallllyyyyy fast! I'll always trade chick pics for chicks (if you need photos of a breed for your website, for example, and of course I'm...

It's probably going to be tomorrow. I'm so sorry!!!! We've got one asthmatic out of the five kids, and he had a horrible night last night. I don't want to leave Daddy to have to tend to him today, because he's a bear. Most likely he'll just come along for the ride tomorrow (unless it flares...

I'm really down and looking for some cheering up. :( $145 and so far two chicks. I'm only on Day 22, but there's no action... Granted, they're adorable, but I think my husband might strangle me if he found out these cuties were basically $77.50 a piece. I'm super stoked that they've...
