I I waited because I had this other group to integrate first.

We just integrated ours also. I was worried about the same thing, so I got up really early to let them out. Funny thing was, even though it was barely getting light, all of them were standing at the door to the coop already! The minis just stayed back and let the bigs and littles be first. We...

Yes, we're talking about the same one. :) She is my favorite out of all of them. Thanks.

Here's my favorite SFH x RSL girl.

The one in front on the top pick? I believe she is a mix - pure lavender Americana daddy and EE mom if I remember correctly. She came from a gorgeous blue egg, so I'm excited to see what she lays. I believe this is a sibling, but I could be wrong.

Okay I'll share some. Most don't have names yet. :hide

Thats The green legs tell us there is ameraucana in the lineage. That would mean an ee or oe depending on the gene combinations of the parents. I have seen that color pattern on oe's when a welsumer is used as the chocolate gene contributor. That's interesting! I learn something new every day!

The legs are green. And there is a possibility it came out of a blue egg. I can check the skin color tomorrow. What will that tell us?

Well I'm not for sure. I got my eggs for the hatch from two different places. I tried to keep track of which came from which egg when they were hatching, but I was having a party at the same time.

And one of my favorites. A beautiful cream with lavender and black EE - pretty sure it's a girl.

One of my NYD chicks. Can't figure out this breed. First pic was taken at a couple days old, second is from today. Thoughts?

A couple of my chicks- they are getting so big! SFH x RSL Maybe pure SFH? Silkie Showgirl EE? His/Her wings have a beautiful lavender tint to them.

Haha! Well I'll just have to see what happens. It won't be a tragedy if it doesn't work, but it would be great to have little Marans babies for Easter. On a really exciting note, I sold 7 of my chicks a few days ago, and the lady contacted me today saying they wanted more! I told her I did...

My laying hens are about 25 weeks right now. Three Barred Rock crosses, two Australorps, and a Marans. ETA - I miscalculated - he's actually 10 weeks old now. So my estimation is he'll be 22 weeks by March 30.

Did someone already say what day the Easter hatch starts? I have a 9 week old Marans, and I'm wondering if he might be fertile in time.

No names here yet, because we're not sure which ones we're keeping. I did sell 7 today, which was sad. But they are going to kids starting a project for 4H, so they are going for a good cause...plus I can't keep all these chicks!!! Mine are growing and feathering so fast. A few nights ago I...

So this is normal appearance for Silkies?

So what's up with this chick's wing feathers? I have a couple Silkies with wing feathers growing in like this. Is it a Silkie thing?

This is exactly why I wanted to mark them! Great information from both of you, thanks!

Thanks. I'll use zip ties until I can get some bands.
