My GFF chicks are a month old now.

Here they are as peeps the day they arrived. Two female, one male (lower right corner)

Below are first - cockerel at one month and on the right, pullet at one month. Easy to tell who is who just by color.

My girls haven't developed crests yet. I hope they do, it is a unique feature. Some lines do not have crests on the females.

How beautiful. I might need to try some hatching eggs down the road. I will need to test out my incubator first though.

I got my Legbar and Lemon Cuckoo orpington chicks from Richard 2 days ago. I ordered 2 pair and he sent a third pair. I also got 3 Lemon Cuckoos. 1 LCO died on arrival and 1 of the CL pullets was looking droopy yesterday but with some antibiotics and TLC she is looking good today. Richard was great, he called me to make sure that I knew that they had arrived. He was watching the tracking. He refunded right away for the casualty. Great doing business with him.

Agreed! He has been quite excellent with me as well. I was pleasantly surprised at how accommodating he has been. Definitely recommend him to anyone who is considering some of the breeds he has!

yeah the SFH result was a bummer getting only 4 especially when 8 had been developing nicely. Two hatched but didn't survive, they were very weak looking, 2 never made it out. Great result with the legbars. did you PM me? or did you email me through CL?
