We got 4 more chicks about 2 weeks ago from TSC out of the assorted bantam brooder. This little thing is such a little character. It has feathering on legs and feet. Is this little one a d'uccle? We have another one that's white with some light blue also.
We have some buff laced polish chicks and silver laced polish chicks. When they get to a mature size and start to lay I'm wondering what colors the chicks will be if we let them all stay together. I've looked it up but wondering if anyone could help me out. Will they be able to be sexed at hatch...

Yes it does. The lamp heats one side to the heated temp and the other side is cooler. I'll have to add a thermometer to that side and...

One of our newest chicks! My hubs finally got him a Mottled Houdan. We wanted more than one but it was the only one left. We ended up getting some polish chicks too so he wouldn't be alone.
