I'm so glad you had a good hatch! I wish I knew enough to help you with your sticky chicks. I'll let you know if I learn anything. Again, congrats!!

I really can't wait. What makes you say that? I am still trying to figure all this out, but the feather pattern looks feminine to me. See, this is interesting to me, because I found the feathers to be the most reliable indicator for our wyandottes. We had 25+ chicks and I almost drove...

Your chicks are soooooo cute, Megan!! I know you're thrilled. Congrats, chicken mama!

I agree. You could also dye the vents. Sorry about your single comb babies. They're cute, though! :)

Oh. My. Word. Those are GORGEOUS!! Looks like a pullet to me. X2 Beautiful. That's awesome, Megan!! Can't wait for pics and updates! Wooo-hoooooooo!!!

They're very pretty. Even in the awkward teen phase, BLRW are pretty. Where did you get them?

I didn't know there was such a thing as too dark! He's gorgeous. I love all of your birds. Just wait till sis has her heavy molt, then we'll see whose staring. You know, though, the feathers she DOES have are nice ones!

Thanks! We are very happy with them. Our BLRW cockerels went after each other like no other breed we have had when they were in the brooder. It was actually quite cute to watch. We finally separated them this month because they were damaging each others' combs and wattles. Youngins Good...

Maybe so! That must have been some snake! Good luck on the candling, setting, and hatching!

Thank you! Give me a bit and I can ship you some eggs.

Yep. We had a Welsummer rooster who was flighty and gave me all kinds of trouble. He would NOT stay out of my garden. We eventually got rid of him, but not before hatching some of his chicks. The cockerels were just like him. I didn't even have a garden this winter, but they would hope the...

This. We have two groups. One we raised from hatch, the other we purchased as adults. The ones we raised are more personable, but none of them jump on our laps unless we have treats. They are chickens, definitely not cats. lol. I have my favorites, and those are the most personable and...

Have fun playing THAT game! Seriously, though, it does look like two blues and a splash to me, but it could also be a light blue. They're adorable.

Nice pics. You seem to have a great setup.

Agreed! Thinking of changing my indian name to "She who stares at chickens". lol

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll take it to heart(and head, and notepad). We're taking good care of our girls(and boys). I'm sure they'll do the same for us.

Thank you. I do have both of those books. It looks like our adult BLRW hen does have mossy feathers. Do correct me if I'm wrong, please. Idk, guess I was just hoping someone would say, "No, that isn't as bad as it could be." or something.

Understood. I guess it is possible that their parents were splash. The breeder we got them from has all three varieties. I was looking through your albums just now and your birds are very pretty. That's one thing I love about the BLRW, they are always beautiful, but your birds show great...

Thanks for the input! I have been told that type is the most important thing. I was mainly curious as to the color and lacing in particular at this point, since they have all feathered in so nicely compared to some I have seen at this age. I guess it was the only thing I could even hope to...

Hey, no problem! BTW, love your username. We have a houdini chicken. She's the smallest of all our Black Australorps and can get out/in anywhere; a true master. She's the only BA we have that earned herself a name. :D If anyone could check this link out and give me their opinion on our...
