I took a close look at the chicks this morning.  I didn't realize how ugly they'd get when they started growing in feathers smile.png.  They're really starting to test one another to see who's going to be in charge and it's pretty cool actually to see feathers starting to grow in.  At first I thought they were getting dirty but when I looked closer I noticed it was feathers and not dirt coming in.  They're pretty funny looking right now though.

The are pretty funny looking! Half fuzz half feathers lol.png. I miss the way they looked when they were a few days old!! Good thing I've got another batch due to hatch on the 4th, so I get my cute chickies again.

chicken boy, that sounds like so much fun. I wish I could be doing this kind of thing..can't have roos.  :(

  Ooo, I really like the sound of  the Ameraucana/barred with the Buff O.  Should be pretty babies.

 

 Well, I am expecting some pips today sometime.  Tomorrow is hatch day!  For my BO's.

Wonderful family, very understanding husband when it comes to chickens, dogs, birds, one big Golden Retriever, and thankful to the Lord for all!

all of his sons had very similar combs.And to answer your question frizzle is a genetic mutation if you breed a frizzle and a frizzle most likely half the chicks will be normal and the other will be frizzle.
