    Drama causer designated Soccer Ball based on down coloration at hatch. Nice thing about the chicks is I can just walk out into yard and pick on up without chick trying to get away. Same chicks make general walking complex when trying not to step on them. Even broody hens being that way.

    I can’t speak for Havoc, but I’m having an escapement issue with those otherwise wonderful cages. That get out as I approach to feed and water. The dogs and other chickens running at ground level do not help. Drama

    The mommas are sisters my son raised to produce chicks that keep me busy while he suffers his aunt and grandma in Montana for the summer. This is payment for his doing bulk of care the rest of year.

    First three are sisters. The first should hatch today or tomorrow. A fourth will be hatching in about a week. Eggs are already browning, then they keep tracking in clay from ground. Hatch still good so far.

    Poor pic but what amounts to more (five) Aseel chicks. All but darkest are Wheaton. There dad is a stag, not a bullstag, so I’m surprised than chicks would come of the pairing. Chicks are now in a smaller safer pen. Darn snakes
