I bought 10 of the cutest little fuzzies!! jumpy.gif My husband kept giving me the evil eye rant.gif...LOL, but just stood out of the way while I picked them out. (He even had to shoo them in my direction so I could reach them :D  )  I'll post pictures shortly, they're getting acquainted with the 5 pullets I got yesterday!  *hee-hee-hee clap.gif

I thought our fuzzies from yesterday were tiny!!  Wow!!  My Cornish X seem HUGE!!  My pullets are at least 2x the size of our bantams  :D

Here's one of our CX for reference...

So tiny and fragile!!

Tiny!!

Here's one of our darker babies:

Darker baby

9 out of 10 of them have feathered legs and feet.  I found one all white one without any feathers on its legs or feet.  I had to climb INTO the bin to get that stubborn little bird!  They are adorable and I can't wait to see how they feather out!  I told my husband that it's like a never-ending treasure hunt, they get cuter as we go along!!
