Aubrey- Do you think they will even out or is the runty one going to probably stay runty? My two year old named the bigger one Bon Jovi...seriously no idea how she came up with that....and the little one Bean. I lost one the other night...one of my bigger 6 week olds. I had them out in the...

These two were hatched on the same day but have a drastic size difference. Is this normal?

Okay here are a few pics of the 5 week olds: This one I think is one of the nicer ones so far. I know it is too soon to tell for sure. They are fast and hard to photograph! Okay this is the one I like the best out of this group. She is very dirty because she thinks she is a duck...

I still say she is most certainly an accepted variety, despite her feathers and carriage. When we entered her, we weren't expecting a blue ribbon, but to be DQed as an unaccepted variety was...embarassing. I won't enter her next year in the juniors show, but will enter my other lavs....making...

It helped lots and lots and lots. This is the infamous lavender girl. She wasn't being very cooperative with posing for me. She wanted to squat down and run away. Also, it was raining this morning so she probably was less smooth than usual. I think she lacks a bit of proper carriage as...

Okay folks. This is one one of my daughter's birds, and the only grown(ish) d'Anvers I have. I'd like some honest critiques of her to learn from. You won't hurt my feelings, I know she isn't fabulous, but she is cute and funny and sticking around because of it. I don't know how old she is...

I'm just an impatient chicken mama....lol. I know someone with a set they were going to sell as a breeding pair...until the female started crowing. I swear, looking at the two...who were hatched at the same time (give or take a few days) from different pens, you would have sworn it was a...

How early can you see rooster comb development? I see about 3 of my little ones that seem to have larger combs than the others...but these are little babies. I know with my cochins, it was apparent pretty early on the males from the females

I know you are asking Aubrey, but I just wanted to say I think he is gorgeous.

lol...dingle berry! I snorted my coffee on that one! Yeah..maybe I will hang on a bit longer. Our weather is still nice here so I've moved everyone outside to a rabbit hutch during the day. The older set of chicks can seriously fly. I walked into the room the other morning and there were...

Thank you JJ. I think my hunch to keep the black and the whites and get rid of most of the lavenders is a good one. I know a quail won BOV at our last show. She was pretty...but an ornery little bugger. She was in the cage next to my polish and bit me every time I opened my cage door. I...

I wanted to ask, what colors do you think will show the best? Out of my chicks (two hatches...one 6 weeks old and one 2 weeks old) I have 5 Lavenders, 1 black, and 3 mystery whitish ones, which I think will be whites. I'd like to thin out how many I have, but I'm unsure what to keep. I'm not...

So sorry to hear of your loss. I have an 18 1/2 year old german shorthair pointer and I am dreading being in your situation.

Are the white tips on the toes of this one undesirable?

Okay some baby pics. The first group is 2-3 days old. The second group is coming up on 3 weeks...Any input would be appreciated. Im still unsure on the color of the light, whitish ones. As of now, they appear to be just...white. Chick #1- light whitish color Chick #2- Lavender I...

Lol...I think you need to share with me!

Well, my last 3 eggs I had in my incubator had dead chicks. 2 pipped the wrong end of the shell and the last one looked...bad. When I opened it there was a lot of brown liquid in there. The other two are really disappointing because I feel like I should have been able to do something. I have...

Okay here are some 1 week old pics: #7...now named Madonna (Don't ask...my kids named them) #6 Now called Gabby Douglas #10 Now called Adele #9, Now called Abbey Road Group shot

I like picture explanations! Mine are only 1 week old, so too young to tell yet, but I'm about to get them all out for a "photo shoot" and will post pics later. Thank you so much for your patience with me as a newbie to the breed!

At what age can you start telling pullets from cockerels? I'm going to need the help of all of you on determining what I should keep and what I should get rid of with all my little d'Anvers. The 4 are a week old now and I have another possible 10 (as of last time I candled) due in about a week...
