I just read (won't say where to protect the innocent) that missing toenails are a DQ. I was under the impression that they weren't. Can you all clarify? Thanks!!  I sure wish someone had a list of all the DQ's.

as far as I understand it is not a DQ but it is a fault. if a judge notices they can fault the bird points for it.

Okay!!!  I had a baby hatch this morning!  My ONE and only... an only child!!  I just got home a little bit ago.  But before I left this morning, I did get a couple of pictures of her (which made me a bit late).  AH well.  :)   My new chick!!!wee.gif

 

Here's my broody mama (she's not really the mama, BTW-- my Black pullet laid this egg)  My chick is under her!  (BELOW)

LL

 

 

This is the baby-- I set her down to take her picture, and then I felt terrible I did that, she couldn't stand up yet.  (BELOW)

LL

 

 

She's still a little wet here-- after I took this pic, I put her back under mama hen. (BELOW)  BUT look-- she has a vaulted skull like her real mama has!  It's quite a vault, too-- I don't know if I should be worried about it????

LL

 

 

OKay, and I just got home like 15 mins ago and I took these two pictures-- she's all fluffed up... well, kind of!  LOL  

LL

 

 

And here she is-- cutest thing EVER!!  Okay, I'm just saying that because she's MINE!!  LOL  lau.gif  (BELOW)

LL

 

 

 

So she must have hatched pretty early this morning, because the first two pictures were taken around 8am and she was already about half way dry.  What color do you think she is???  Her daddy is Splash and mama is Black (or a very, very dark Blue).  Is she Splash????
