A little late, but here are our gals

[fpscabs]

We ended up getting 5 chicks. NH, GLW, EE, and I believe two of either BR or CM! They were to be one of each, but the feed store, I think, gave us sisters.
These are shots when they were two days old.

This is a few days later after I made a quick perch.

Again, a bit later on

Getting bigger a week or so later (2/21)

That EE is going to be darling.

Your EE is growing alot faster than your others. Mine did that also, I thought something was/is wrong with my others that they were not growing very fast. I had to seperate my EE's cause they were starting to step on my little ones. (This is the first time I have raised baby chicks.) So is it normal for EE's to grow so fast?

My EE is doing the same thing...she is about 1/3 larger than all the other chicks.

So far she, though, she doesn't seem to bully anyone.

I had bantam EEs and BRs. The EEs were much bigger from day 1, feathered faster and grew faster, but it wasn't really a problem. Then one day that turned around and the BR started filling out like a true dual purpose- significantly bigger than the EE now. I think that started around week 10.

GEORGOUS!

***Keep the pictures coming!!!***

Now I have to ask (I do with everyone): What is your strategy for taking chick pictures???

 

[fpscabs]

The EE is a week older.

I very carefully climb into the brooder upside down, invert the camera and wait till they pose....

actually, I just take the camera and lower into the brooder...this is just taken.

My how the space has shrunk in 2 1/2 weeks.

Yesterday's field trip to the front yard in our former old springer's day run.

Nice chicks, I love the roost pole

I am going to get my hubbie to make a roost pole like this one. How big is the doyle?

Cute! How long did you keep them outside? I was just curious...
