Clover's 2024 chicks

I love them!! Beautiful!

A bit late but here this week's pictures.

I think the background kind of ruined the lighting for the lighter chicks. Just know that the lavenders and whites are a lot lighter in real life.

The silkies all got their permanent ID bands on this week. This is my first year using them, so I'm still a but nervous about the permanent part but I got the size for silkies and compared the rings to my adult birds' legs and everything seems okay. The 2024 color is blue, which I find pretty cool. I think it looks especially nice on the paints.

Wow, Aphrodite looks twice the size of the others with all those frizzled feathers!
And Zeus is so handsome!

I sort of got some of the black chicks mixed up when taking photos, so instead of retaking the photos, I'll try to get it right this week.

The blacks

Apollo
This one was such a nightmare to photograph. It did not want to stand still at all.

I missed week 5, because I was sick. My camera malfunctioned and I lost half of the pictures of the black silkies (again). I really hope I'll get pictures of them this week.

Who do we think will be cockerels?
I still think Alouette might be one of the only pullets here.

 

[Cloverr39]

The paints. I'm hoping for 2-3 pullets here. I think (and hope) Hestia and Iris will be pullets. I still think Zeus will be a cockerel and I'm unsure about Faun.

I found the black silkie photos! I'll post them all tomorrow.
