I went outside and took a few pics of the juvenile blues (2 month old group).   They're at that ratty stage where they still have fuzz around the eyes.  I've already been culling for any thin tails, crow head and gypsy face.  I've only had a few with pinched tails so far this year; much better than last year.  Now to work on that nice wide head.  cool.png  All the ones in the top photo are pre sold!

The cockerels are always front and center.  The pullets are a bit more courteous, lol.  I did have more cockerels hatch in Jan/Feb.  It seems like I have more pullets in the brooders downstairs right now from the March hatches.  idunno.gif

I don't have much problem selling the cull cockerels.  I put an ad on craigslist for Sunday dinner chicks and the phone rings!

Are gypsy faces when their eyes dont really fit their sokets? Or is it something else? Sorry for the random question.hide.gif

Off to the swap they go!  My blue tweens with black faces also have the best lacing on their feathers.  I guess I can't have it both ways...



 

Orpingtons are the best breed. Fluffy butts, huge eyes and such a friendly temperament.....what more could you want?

LOL, I just imagined a chicken with HUGE eyeballs!  Gypsy face is when the comb is blue/black instead of all red.  Muscovy Ducks can have gypsy faces too.

So all the babies are done hatching now. I had 2 eggs that didn't pip at all so I candled then opened them up... one was a beautiful full term light blue baby and the other was an OE/dotte mix. 

 

There's around 30 in the brooder now, plus 5 GL chicks. I will get some pictures of them tomorrow =)
