All Grown Up Now ~ 41 Weeks Old~ New Pics Post 223(01/15/12)~

[halo]

The OE and those first 2 EEs sure look girly so far. Are the last 2 EEs also? They didnt come from me, did they?

I love the SLW's!

The OE and the other three all came from you, Kathy. There are four EEs plus the wheaten Ameraucana cockerel from that hatch. First two pics are the same chick, the OE. Yup, all out of your pretty blue eggs!

They are so sweet, too, one especially.

The SLWs are so awesome, aren't they, Nick? You can already see they aren't hatchery stock, even now.

Oh, those last ones are SLWs...duh. I thought those were EEs too, thats why I was confused.

 

[speckledhen]

Oh, I didn't get what you were saying, LOL! Sorry!

Yup there are three SLWs and three BLRWs in that crowd, plus some others. I only do groups when I take pics because it's hard to get 42 individual pictures. I think I'll be selling some of the crowd soon, though, but will be keeping all four EEs to choose from for myself and a friend.

Just adding a few pics from today for halo, especially.

The group is 7 weeks old now. I have 10 standards and 7 bantams that I'm keeping. All except for the Barred Rocks are named for ease identifying them (can't tell the pullets apart that well yet, though, so I'm waiting). Here are some of the group, though not all. The Silver Phoenix pullet, Molly, is a few weeks older than the rest of them.

Great pics, as always. Is that buff orp the same hatch?? Holy smokes, she is huge. Love those barred rocks. I met tigercreek last weekend and saw some barred rocks he picked up at the swap down the road, they are really gorgeous, look just like yours. I think he said he got them from the same place that kathyfrommo got hers. He had the NERVE to tell me there were a few more available at the swap, but I resisted. I need to cull out this summer before adding more. But they sure are gorgeous.
