Are those the ones that won’t stay shut?

found a place that let me order 30 plastic ones for not too much but it was a while ago. Let me see if I can dig it up.

My little qualies today

Lots of those yellow or brown babies and that one oddball. I know nothing about colors, not my focus, but fun to see. I'm also amazed at how calm they are compared to the chicken chicks. These guys will sit patiently in my hand and always come out to greet me when I enter the brooder. The chickens all run and act like I'm there to kill them. Lol

They look so good! That is a NICE silver tux, you should list him on CL while you grow them out, he'll sell. I would buy him if you were in-state!

I've had this site bookmarked, they are Canadian, so I'm not sure how much the shipping works out to. They do have one size with free shipping.

Those prices are veryyyy favorable. Their custom labels might come in handy down the line also!

Thanks everyone for always having great answers for my questions

could be.....does it have 5 toes? looks to have black feet and right body shape.....

I’ll check... nope. Four toes only. Black feet. There’s fluff on it’s legs, tho. They were advertised as barnyard mix. Is the five-toe trait recessive? (Or sex link or otherwise repressible?)

Here’s the final result of the hatch... less than 25%. I don’t honestly think that’s my fault. The eggs were in pretty sad shape when I got them.

Are those the ones that won’t stay shut?

Probably. Some of the reviewers complained of that.
