I bet that was a relief! They are sure pretty! I have to say your blue swedish is really turning into a pretty bird. I am such a sucker for that color. Someday I want a couple of Lavendar Orphington chickens. They have the gray feet and a lilac gray coloring to their feathers. Such pretty...
It looks so great! I bet it feels nice to have that finished up. How did you do the first night? Did YOU survive!? ;) I know it was hard for me the first couple of nights. It was kinda sad to walk downstairs and not have them greet me with a "We ran out of food - get more for us NOW!" cheeping. :)

I was confused by that too. Mine came from Metzer, and I had another Welsh owner verify that I did indeed have a gold phase female. The more I look at them, I'm wondering if I may have another Gold female, and even wondering if my Drake is a Gold. His pigment is a softer brown and he isnt really...
Thank you, I feel a little better. That is what I have also done. I have it at one end of that stock tank, so they can definitely move away if they get too hot.
Soo glad they all survived. Thanks for posting this, I'm going to make sure my fixture is okay. I did buy a 125 watt clear heat lamp bulb and finally got a thermometer yesterday. I'm having the hardest time getting the temp right at 90 degrees. But my brooder is all set-up.. I think. I'll post...
