If I have more than 2 BCM roos you may have one of mine. They are Wade- Presley's. I owe you!!!!!

2 Favs hatched today. FINALLY, I have faverolles!

Aww... thank you! But why do you owe me?

@ Holly ~ no, hubby is AK-Bird-Brain. Bird-Brain is Carmen.

The flock is doing well. I'm finally getting to the point where I think I have enough birds! LOL! (Is that really possible?)​

Okay I have to try that. I don't know a thing about it, but I had read that some you could tell with some breeds.
I THINK I may have some of your Dellies and Araucana Xs - just a guess...

We have a chick!!!!!

We got a glimpse of it.
Dh went over to the broody, cause he thought he heard cheeps, and since we were not expecting hatch till Monday, he lifted her slightly.
A little yellow almost dry fluff ball popped out

Now that's so neat!

My guess, and its a wild one at that but maybe she thinks you are "mom" and is looking for goodies?

What I do with my phone is I send a picture to my email address, and then save it from there into a file and then I can upload it. Not sure if that's how an iPhone works, but if you can send pictures with it, it will probably work in a similar way.

And I know that I just found this thread and I'm not from Alaska, but I have baby pictures anyway and thought I would share them! Today, Ivory (my only spoiled little chick, born on 1/29/10, Splash Cochin/Buff Orpington mix from our own chickens) is 9 days old!

She has just recently started growing wing feathers and has gotten a lot bigger. She is so hyper and energized, too!

Right now she's taking a nap next to me after following me around all day. She likes chasing my feet when I'm walking around.

And for some reason, not sure why, when I put my hand into her brooder box, she will run up to it really fast and peck it. She does it every time! I don't know if it's signs of aggression/dominance (if she's a rooster, I can't keep her!

And I couldn't stand to give her away. She's like my little baby and she thinks I'm her mother hen.

) Or maybe it's some kind of a greeting for me? She does it to anyone who reaches into her box. She will only do it once (she won't like attack me repeatedly lol). Or maybe it's just a little ambush/game of tag kinda thing, like she's playfully attacking my hand.

So if anyone has any idea why she does this, let me know! She's such a sweet little chick!

OK now for pictures....... (these aren't as recent...they were taken when she first hatched and when she was about 4-5 days old.)

Just hatched:

She has feathered feet and a gold/brown colored "mask" on her face. So far her wing feathers look like they may have a pattern on them...they look gold/brown/gray. I wonder if she will be a gold/gray Splash color?

That would be interesting!


I love looking at all the baby chick pics everyone is posting! They are all so cute!

I wish they would stay like that forever. But then they grow up so fast. Ivory has changed so much already and it's only been a little over a week!

Another one has its shell half way off.
We should have lots of good pics in the morning.

Paula, your broody is such a good momma. How adorable that baby is. I hope these chicks I'm incubating for you look just like that baby. Those little leg feathers are so sweet.
