What is a good age to start figuring out who to keep? Mine are 3 months old and I have to part with 3 or 4 cockerels. Should I wait a little longer or is 3 months a good time to take a hard look at them?
Yes, love the color they have at this stage..especially the blue wheatens..
He's so beautiful... but can someone confirm that he's conforming to the standard as far as color goes?
I have been enjoying this thread and all the pictures. It's been awhile since I've posted. Been busy with work, kids, farm life.. good thing I have a couple pens of "stress relievers". Love my ameraucanas! It's funny, I raised the Am's right along with a batch of BlRW's and they're still...
@BlackwoodHollow I woke up this morning to 9 chicks hatched! I had to give three a warm rinse (sticky). But they're really nice chicks! I can't wait until they fluff out and I can get their mug shots on here :)
I wish I knew what I was doing that's making my chicks come out sticky-which dries...
Since I can't just upload from my phone anymore.. I'll see if photobucket works.
Correct me if I'm wrong on the color guessing..
Splash
Blues..
Black??
Ok, thanks. There are a few with just a tiny dot on the head, and just a little color on some of their wings. The chicks hatched are solid yellow, (wheatens) the chicks from TX are the ones that are showing just a touch of color on the wings, but they're a mix..wheaten's and blue wheatens..
Newbie question.. some of my wheaties are solid yellow and some have some color on their wings. Is this any indication of anything? A few should be blue wheaten's, most are wheaten. They're just a day or two old.
I have chicks! These are my first ones.
17 perfect little fluff balls are here.
It looks like I have a good variety of colors, mostly blues. Can't wait to post pics, but it isn't letting me at the moment.
Looks like I'm going to end up with 9 wheaties from Peachick :)
Does anyone have a good way of marking young chicks to keep them separate? I'd like to be able to know these from the ones I'm getting this morning..
