My Flock Story -- 2023

[Alaskaliz]

Two photos of each chick.

Except for the little sexlinked girl, I haven't banded any of them yet. I don't like to band them too young because they outgrow the bands so fast. But since these are mainly for sale I needed to ID the known female.

Cuteness overload...I have chick envy-lol Just starting up the incubator

I reset the brooder since they'll be two weeks old tomorrow.

I've got one male identifiable already, the white one, who

is half California White.

Still so darn cute.

BTW, hanging the waterer from a chain is the only way I know to keep chicks from spilling the thing before they're old enough to use the nipples.

Awwwww.... Do you have any "for sure" keepers so far?

Awwwww.... Do you have any "for sure" keepers so far?

If any of the splash are male I'll keep them to raise and see how they compare.

2.5 weeks is too early, but of the 4 splashes I *may* have the male I wanted.

The dominant white baby is, obviously, the half-California White but there was another of her eggs in there and I have no idea which chick it is.

The Splashes (at least I *think* they're splashes), are pure Australorp and the others could be several kinds of mix.

I didn't see any foot feathers, so probably no half-cochins.

Are you going to keep the splashes?

 

[Auntiejessi3]

So are these all pure? Or are any of them possible mixes with you SLW?
