I have a very mixed flock. One of them is a silver cuckoo maran. How big is normal for this breed? She is enormous and beautiful. And I was simply wondering if bigger the better or if she isn't the normal
I ordered 15 chicks from MPC/Meyer and 5 were mystery chicks.
This is mystery chick one. They are just over a month. It was yellow with black stripes when born.
This is mystery number two. The on the the right!
Thanks for your help!!
mystery #1 polish I think!
My three blue silkies hang out a lot!!
Mystery #2 is a feather legged bantam of some type!
Mystery #3 is yellow with black raving stripes and white feathers coming in!
And all 4 silkies together!
Won't let me upload any pictures!!!!! Oh well! I have figured out I got a white crested black polish bantam, and a mottled Cochin bantam, still unsure of the other three mystery chicks!! Sadly the little one didn't make it! What breed is a yellow chick with black stripes down it's back, and...
this one is lethargic, and can't stand or sit very well, I gave her sugar water, and normal water and helped her warm up a bit away from the others cause the silkies all ganged up on her when she fell over.. Anything else I can do?
The chicks got to the post office at 7 am and I spent an hour and a half anxiously pacing till it opened!!! All but one are in great health and I got lots of pics and the mystery chicks are awesome!!!!
They came from my pet chicken, so probably Meyer, I have the following coming
2 silver cuckoo maran pullets
2 silver laced Wyandotte pullets
2 golden laced wyandotte pullets
1 black silkie cockerel
3 blue straight run silkies
And 5 mystery chicks!!
