My April babies are 4 weeks old now and getting so big, I have not been able to confirm which ones are roosters yet... hard to tell since they are cross breeds.

Anyway, my tea cup pictures were a great idea, but now it is really hard to get the photos..but here they are at 4 weeks:

The first 3 are my Dominique/Ameraucana crosses:




These last 3 are my Dominique/Rhode Island Red crosses:

Would say the last two are roos.

Would say the last two are roos.

I am thinking the same....

After 6 weeks (first time everything failed) my dear black Brahma succeeded hatching 4 chicks 8 eggs were not fertile. I'm afraid I need a serious discussion with the one to blame, the rooster DSK, that is. But I'm happy with the 4 chicks, 2 brahmas and 2 farm chickens.



My quail hatch was a total disaster, due to the eggs: too small, too empty, too infertile. Yes, too empty, I found an egg without anything in it, just a shell. I started again with other and hopefully better eggs 3 days ago. Set 50 eggs.

katatonic123: they are just great! And giant as well. Mine are the same size at 2,5 month. Incredible! Lovely birds, congrats.

My brother came and built my new coop this weekend. All my babies are outside now.

My April babies are 8 weeks old today, and someone is "trying" to crow. It is the funniest sound!

Love the new crows....hysterical!

One of my babies tried to crow today. Not sure which one because they were in the coop at the time but I know it wasn't Johann.
