    Aaaw cute. I love how they have all that light fuzz when the real feathers are showing up! I hope the next hatch goes better Cydney! Now is the time to do all this YH, before we narrow it down and lose all these other genes. If you guys in the US are getting Blondies, James must have...

    Cool! They are pretty birds aren't they? Maybe you'll get a light roo. This was mine when she was just a whipper snapper nearly 4 years ago. I think she was about 6-8 weeks there. Scuze the photo quality.

    That is great to hear YH, I have no idea how you do that, but we have had some pretty dark birds up here. I love Belza chickens! I have Black Penedesencas and Sumatras! I have a feeling Llodiana may be a possibility at some point. I think every Canadian hatched a "Blondie" like mine last...

    ...year's molt. That is what I have noticed with mine. Mine are doing fine for combs so far, no nips. It;s been mild and only as low as about -20*C, -7*F once this year but Sask got windchill of -50*C last night, but they heat their barns, we don't here. The roos usually lose the tips and...

    Hi and welcome new EO owners. Good luck with the hatches. These little dudes do have wide heads, I have noticed it from the start. I love their stripy head and the bubblegum pink combs of the young roos and they love to have their head either side of the combs and faces stroked. They will...

    Hey Welcome Salunra! What an exciting time. Glad you are getting back on your feet! I don't have the Swedish flower chickens, so can't compare them, but it sounds like you cant; lose whichever you choose. You have it down to 2 fine breeds. I am so excited, it looks like myself and 2 other...

    Stunning pictures and birds, I agree calender worthy! You guys know now that they look at the camera and you cos they are always aware of where you are. It`s like having your own little fan club! Yeah I never really noticed but yes, they do hold the tail down and out! I got 2 this year...

    Lagunita, what a dear little dude! I love their bubblegum pink combs and wattles at that age! They are such perky little fellas. By the way he is sitting, he feels like he has every right to be there! That's what I noticed about these when I first got them, they seem to think they have...

    I don't think I posted this before, but I just thought this may help anyone with the young chicks trying to sex them or wondering when they can. There may be a few of you at this stage. They are not easy but you do get an eye for them like any breed. The first pic of the two in my hand, the...

    It's hard to be certain til we mark each one, photograph and follow it, which I hope to do this spring. I'd say at hatch, the brighter yellow the better, some that look paler yellow at hatch, end up as white I have a roo with that I have pictures of as a chick, other legs stay yellow or get...

    Quote: Me too! I think that's what they should look like! Great to see at least one are coming out in everyone's flocks! Well done James! Funny you should say that ThatBloke, I have that peripheral vision for EOs under my feet too! Just lately it's my grandaddy roo, doing a little jump...

    Chicken crazy is about right! My hubby certainly thinks so! Our dog looks that with them till they are 3-4 weeks old, then he ignores them!
