Hi, I just wanted you to see this trio I got from your hatching eggs last year. These two broody sisters sat on the eggs together, stealing them out from under each other, back and forth until they hatched . These are the sweetest Seramas ever! The rooster loves to fly up in my lap and he will...

Here are my 4 babies I hatched from eggs I got from you. They are around 5 months old. These are the sweetest chickens ever! They absolutely love me. If I am sitting outside they all want to be sitting in my lap or on my shoulder. They will even fly up on the top of my head. If they are in their...

They are precious! I got 4 sweeties from Beth that are 2 weeks old now. I agree, they are very comical!

The Serama babies and their surrogate mother.

Beth, I think this one is going to be a frizzle. What do you think?

Here is some updated photos. He is 6 weeks old now. I love this little guy(or girl). He/she has a great personality and is really friendly. I have my chicks in a big brooder cage in the garage right now and when I open the door he immediately flies out onto my arm.

Crested Swedish Flower is pretty close. I googled the images and there is a lot of variations. It will be interesting to see how he turns out. Thanks everyone for your help!

He was a solid yellow crested chick that I thought was a Polish when I got him out of the bantam bin at TSC. He is much more colorful now. Thanks for looking.

These are my 6 week old Polish chicks.

I use food grade diatomacious earth. I got it in a white bag at Tractor Supply Company for around 12 or 13 dollars. It is a light powdery substance. I just spread it around inside and outside the coop and run. It also can be placed on the chickens to control mites. After a few days you will see...

I have 3 BA pullets. They are 3 months old. Here is Fiona checking out my cat Bella. Bella is in the kitty run that is attached to the house. They can go in and out a cat door I had made into the laundry room window. My other two pullets are named Pheobe and Honey Boo Boo.

My chick started getting better when I added the vit. E and the selenium along with the Poly vi sol without iron. My chick is now a huge 3 month old hen that is healthy and happy.
