Today I decided to kick my CX chicks out of the coop for the day. I was tired of them just sitting by the food dish and pooping everywhere and I thought it would be good for them. To say that they had a good time would be total understatement. They had SO much fun today! I had to take pictures of them. The definitely got their exercise today! I THINK they're about 5-6 weeks old now. I cant remember lol.
With one of my rhodebar hens
One of the cochin chicks they hang out with. I think she's about 9-10 weeks old now
Cochin, RIR (11-12 weeks old?), CX
And I did manage to get a couple pictures of Ana an her babies I'm starting to wonder if she's ever going to take them outside.
WOW! Those meaties are pretty and healthy looking! LOVE the penciled broody. I thought it was Fisher's for a second.
I can't help you with the sexes. Kind of funny how you got naked necks, now there's a surprise.So I ended up with 10 chicks from the incubation of our Easter Eggers eggs. I lost one that was cemented in the shell. She was not positioned quite right and broke the yolk early on while pipping. After 24 hours and little progress I helped her out, but she died 2 days later. She was just too weak.
We are in suburbia, so no rooster here, but bought 3 laying hens from a farm. We didn't see a naked neck roo, but they must have had one, lol. 7 out of the 10 chicks are naked necks.
Almost 1 1/2 weeks old. Anyone want to venture any guesses on how many girls we might have?
