the rooster was already tinted when i got him but the 2 hens have no tint. the 2 hens are around 8months but the rooster has got to be a year plus because his spurs had just started coming to a point when i got the trio.

I am used to my families chickens and helping to raise them (Silkies) and I think OEGB are just tough little guys! I have had some very minor issues with them such as gasping when we first got home, that was fixed by giving sugar water.

 

Now, Is it normal...

 

 

At a week old to be "Play fighting?" I just went out and checked them, and they were all chest bumping eachother! I have 3 roosters and 3 hens in there. It was too adorble for words.

Yes, Mine started "play fighting" at one wk too. It is cute, but not just playing they really are finding out who is in charge!  only my OEGB's started this early.

here you can see the yellowing on my self blue d'uccle all depends on the lighting (time and date are correct)

Someone died so you wouldn't have to, have you said thank you?
