Well, Triple D gets his stock from Ideal, and his bin only said Assorted Old English Bantams. I do believe one is a Porcelain, and one is a Self Blue. The other is a mystery.

The Blue Laced Red....Triple D got them at the end of April. So they're about 7-9 weeks old.

Oh, and my yard is a mess, it looks like it has mange, but thank you for your kind comment!

Donna, those are beauties! Good luck with the Mallards!

Welcome back Ash! I'm happy your broody has some babies!

Tori, my blue Orp roo is a monster! He's huge, I'm afraid his knees are going to buckle. Do you think he'll be okay? I'll go take some pics.
This is a 5 gallon waterer he's next to; and it's on a base!

hi alaska animal lover

Aimie those top 2 are Tori's splash Orphingtons at 5 weeks. That's a very big boy you've got there...

I love the splashes Donna! My roo is 12 weeks, I believe.
I just don't want him to end up like a Cornish x! He walks around pecking, and then sits for a while, sometimes I see him sit at the feeder to eat.

Close enough for me, are the RLRW also bantams? I have them in a dog kennel in the coop since last night, so they've spend the night and will spend all of today looking thru bars...lol Hopefully by tomorrow I can put them in the coop. They are both smaller than all the birds I have now.

Hmmf, come see my place sometime and you'll see... a.... field! Yeah that's it!! lol

ok Brooder set up, first 4 chicks moved into it....

we have 3 more chicks and 3 pips......

4 more eggs to go in this batch.......

Humidity was 80% and Temp was 100.8 after removal of the 4 chicks.....so I think we are doing well considering....this is the first time I have used the Brower as a hatcher.....

Set the Humidity gauge back up so I can read it while I was pulling the dry chicks.....

ETA: Bear was sighted at the neighbors yard, and My chickens and I are to Blame?
This is a natural trail from one river to another, and there were Bears and I here, before I had neighbors......(but I will take the blame) I was raised on this property and have seen the bears in my yard, as a kid....haven't seen any in the yard in few years. I have however seen them crossing the highway....just last summer as a matter of fact..
