Sturgis is more chicken than dog. Notice how they are all standing around with their heads to the ground.

He is so darn cute! Love him!

@Chippysmom, checking hourly? Lol. That's cool. Candy still hasn't kidded, she started laboring about 11:30 this morn. Still no babies. The camera on my phone broke, so I've been having trouble getting pics of the 3 kids that were born on the 18th.

What color are the egg shells? I don't recall what you had in this bunch. If you don't have the egg shells, then you need to look at their legs.
For the blue one, are the legs dark or are there any feathers down their legs? (dark legs = blue ameraucana, feathers = blue marans)
For the chipmunk striped ones, yellow legs = welsummer, olive green (willow) legs = rhodebar pullet
Definitely no male Rhodebars in that group of 3.

Okay, I'm pretty sure I have one Welsummer, two Rhodebars and one Maran.

It's a bit hard to tell, but the one has very yellow legs, and the other two are a bit greenish gray. Fingers crossed for all pullets!

question for whoever lives in Lycoming county I was just told I cant have chickens in Lycoming county I've been looking at the codes and zoning regulations for antes fort but I can not find anything the coop is already built and my 15 chicks are out there in the brooder my question would be how are other people permitted to have chickens in antes fort and I was told I could not my coop is by no means an eye sore it is a good looking coop and all I'm trying to do is have a Hobey and provide my family with fresh healthy eggs

most ordinances roll up if you township doesn't list they adhere to the county ordinance....mostly if nobody complains no foul.....if you ask permission you know the results....just go for it!!!! (the ultimate enabler!)

Better to ask forgiveness, then permission....
