That's right, they do have five toes. I didn't even notice that until I was cleaning up the four bodies I lost to a skunk invasion.
Most of them have feathered legs and a few have crests, but the ones I'm sure are pullets just look like little EE's.
Thanks! I think they are pretty too. Someone has started crowing. I've heard him in the mornings inside the hen house, but I don't know which one it is! He sounds pretty terrible, his voice is still cracking!
Here are some pics of the chicks that were hatched in the spring. I am amazed at their colors! Their mom was just a little tiny banty hen of some sort that I was told was mixed breed something. The roo is an EE. That little hen raised 11 chicks, but 4 were killed by a skunk.
They really...
