The kids are aggravated because I'm planning on the Valentine's outfits for the millies...
The bantam cochins and bantam polish I saw at the bird show were a little bigger than the millies. The cochins were much bigger around, but that could've been fluff!
Dunno how big they'll get. Guess it depends on the parents.
My d'Uccles are pretty small and fully grown. And pretty spoiled, too. They run to me, even if I do dress them up & take their picture
They work for bread

As hard as we try to diguise the fact, we now have bantams. Also, Jim has expanded his lust for hatching, to we now have silkies and frizzles in the bator. lol
I think Tinker has finally gotten his feathers back on his head. I also am afraid to admit that I think he's a seabright. Ugh...
I went a few months without a roo and hated it. The hens wouldn't stay together and it made it hard to check on them as they free-ranged. Also, they went beyond their normal boundaries. I will always have a roo from now on. Even as they transition to a new one I see more unity and organization...

I currently don't have an incubator. Another forum member graciously offered to let me borrow an incubator, and if that pans out, I will definately attempt to incubate some eggs. But I'll also send some to skand. We'll double the chances of getting some little offspring
The sequel...

You've had a rough couple of weeks!
That cat is Calliope (Callie for short), and she loves watching baby chicks. She doesn't hurt them, just huffs their fragrance and cuddles up under the brooder lamp. She gets as excited as I do when the bator comes back out (which it is this weekend )
