Update on the chicks - Except for the ones the broody has I have looked them over and everyone looks to be growing in smooth hard feathers!!!!! Yay!!!! I am going to band them and keep track of them. Hopefully the two blues will be all blue this time. The rest are actually black. I ended up...

New question: I have several chicks (10 so far) that hatched last night. All of them are children of my showgirl - although none of them are NN (I'm seriously surprised) My question is - almost all of them have 4 toes instead of 5. How much should I let that affect who I decide to keep? Its...

WWD - Saul is darling! I had a lil serama roo that I sold this spring. They are so tiny, but big on personality. He was best buds with my black copper maran roo. Ok back on topic: Would the smooth sizzle chick I pictured be considered a blue partridge? I was just checking over my frizzled...

Thanks Sarah for the info. I am starting to work on sizzles and have two good prospects for my foundation stock. Now I just need to find a good smooth roo I think. These two pullets have awesome feet, black skin, correct comb. One needs a better crest, but the other one has a great crest. So i...
