Oh, that little brown one is just so cute

Hondo, how do you feel now when you crack those other eggs for french toast and know what they could be

Like everything...it's just the luck of the draw....These 7 got really lucky....The lucky 7!

Here's a video of the day old chicks in the brooder. The red heat lamp washes out their colors a bit.

I loved that video....and that cute brown one is so "round"

Please keep taking pictures of these chicks as they get older. Your rooster Louie is so beautiful and I'd like to see if any of his colors show up in his babies.

Gah! Just adorable! I too look forward to seeing these babies get older! I'm getting my first babies tomorrow, I can hardly contain the excitement! Good luck with your 7!
