As you can see there was 2 hatches both under broody BCM mixes.  Please overlook the dog house its a temporary feeding station.  Will be finding homes the cockerels soon.  I hope.

Littlechicklet, those are lovely chickes.

 

Bleenie, that pale gold lacing has been showing up a lot lately.  I wonder if it's something new???

I can't claim this to be anything but a run of the mill EE. But it's the first I've ever raised with free access to the house.



By the way, the other stains are from my cockatiels.

Edit: This was one of four I got to slip under a broody because I wanted to see how good a mom she was. For some unknown reason, she would not accept this one. Kept driving it away. So I'd no other choice but to bring it in and see if anything was wrong with it. Doesn't appear to be and now here she is.

Love those Orps!

I don't care why the chicken crossed the road, as long as mine don't!

Thank you.  It is going to be hard to decide who stays & who goes but lucky for me my mother-in-law wants to start keeping a few chickens. yesss.gif

Nugget looks like Ethel! It's nice to see another light chipmunk colored birdie turn into a female. I've been reading a lot about how these chicks end up roosters. Mine doesn't have any "eyeliner" and has barely a mark trailing out the end of the eye. We shall see! smile.png

Your roo is beautiful! Does look a lot like my Ethel as a baby. It's so amazing how similar these chicks can look and how DIFFERENT they can be as adults. So cool!

I'm having so much fun so far. We're getting started on the "hen house" within the next couple of days. My husband and I are going to build a small one. I'll take weekly pics of the chicks to post their progress. So far, their legs have stayed yellow. Maybe they'll change colors. It's so neat to watch them grow and absolutely amazing to see how similar some chicks look and how totally different they appear when grown up. Different colors, feather patterns, sizes. The kids are enjoying playing with them, but I think I enjoy them more. I can't wait to get home from work and take them out to play in the front yard. Guarding them from the cats is quite a task, but they treat me like mama hen, which is really neat. Oh, and the best part about watching them, is seeing their tiny little legs do that cover/kick thing in the dirt. Looks like the little cuties are dancin'! I'm hoping for some nice green eggs in the future.
