My babies don't have names yet but I love them to death. My babies don't have the feathering on their feet that yours do either, not as thick as yours anyways. My babies are 8 weeks old tomorrow. I really need to get their coop done so they can be outside

She is so pretty, love the color. I can't have as many chickens as I want and I keep finding more and more colors that I like. My hubby is gonna kill me if I keep getting more chicks. I'm gonna have to cover my brooder also. I went in today and my favorite pullet managed to get herself out of the box they are in. It won't be much longer before the rest figure out how to do it and I'll have chicks running everywhere. Bigger brooder with a cover or get their coop done soon.

I can have more where I live, I just don't want any more unless they are pullets. Out of the 10 I have, 4 are cockerels and 2 pullets and not sure about the other 4 yet. I have to wait to see what I have for sure before I start to get rid of the cockerels to get me more pullets. Then I'm gonna look around for the colors I want before I just buy the ones closest to me. I might even get a bator and have eggs shipped and try that out a little. I'm just trying to figure out which partridge to keep and which to get rid of and my splash (or hope is splash) will be staying. I would love to find some SQ silkies next time I buy. I am wanting to get more now but the heat and danger of shipping chicks scare me and I have never bought chicks that I had to have shipped either.
