Love their names (esp. Vlad). They are really handsome boys. What are your plans for them?

I've had some RIRs that looked very similar to that when they first started to feather out. To be honest though, I couldn't discern gender until about 12 weeks.

Looks VERY similar to my Leghorn pullet.

Someday, I too, hopw for no muddy season and my feather-footed breeds will look much less dirty! ;) They are otherwise gorgeous, but oh those muddy and poopy feet...

I am in Mass and was (pleasantly) surprised to find chicks at my local Agway on February 1st! WOW. Of course I had to snatch a few up ("Amerucanas" and a SLW) and they are in my dining room because it is waaaaay to far from Spring here to stick those babies outside.

And I want to double-thank you for your input. I have a ceramic heater in the coop and a red heat lamp in the run. Powered by an extension cord. It trips the GFCI every few days and I have to go reset it. I am no longer going to use these items.

I am so sorry for the loss of your animals and your property. :( Thank you for the message on safety. I send my good thoughts your way....

I am dying over the Polish with the hair elastic! I am going to try this with mine tomorrow.

I love painting my Polish hen's toes. I think she likes it too. ;)

Great show today! Thanks to everyone who helped out a newbie like me! I saw some wonderful birds, got 5 beauties to join me at home (Thanks Roberta for those beautiful Silkie babies!), saw lots of cool vendors, and was overwhelmed by this community of bird lovers. :)

Oh, I just re-read. It was Ideal that sent the extra roos. Well, MPC gets my vote in that category then.

NINE EXTRA ROOS? I just placed my Spring chick order from MPC. Now I feel like I should call them and specify that I do not want any extras, thank you very much. The heartbreak of giving away a pet combined with finding someone that wants nine roosters does not sound like fun. :(

How old are the BCM chicks? Any pullets for sale? I don't care about leg feathering, not going to breed/show, I just would love to have a bird that lays beautiful eggs like in your pic. :)

Who is selling these BCMs?

I was just reading Poultry Mag the other day and read about a new site - www.poultryshowcentral.com that lists poultry shows. Haven't checked it out yet.

So maybe the hen was the Buff? Argh, I may never really know... As soon as I saw that little naked neck though, I knew for sure who the roo was! I got my Showgirls at a local swap this past Fall.Their naked neck is alarmingly strange and yet cute. I don't think they were raised by hand, but...

Oh, showing this little chick wasn't even on my radar, so mongrel is a-okay with me. I was just really excited to have a single egg hatch in the dead of winter! :) And I am super curious which hen was the layer so I could learn more about Silkie color genetics. I have the whole Blue/Black/Splash...

Bump. Anyone????

One of my hens has been brooding on a single egg for a while now and it hatched yesterday! (Very exciting, my first hatch ever!) I was thinking that the Mom was my Buff Silkie, as I originally found the egg in "her" nest under the children's playhouse. But, I think it's pattern looks like...

P.S. GREAT NEWS that you could save two of the babies. Yay! :)
