April/May Grow-a-long!

The sun came out today, so I took the Dominiques out of the brooder and coop for some vitamin D!

Look at those bitty tail feathers!

Had to do the red light for over a week before they stopped pecking the little legbar. 3 weeks old now. Still waiting on the wife to make them as these are her chicks.

Omg one of my April hatches that I am 99% sure is a pullet is soooooo mean!!! I have never had a chick that was this bad. She will actually let me pick her up and pet her but the 2nd I put her down she turn around and bites me. She will chase my hand to bite it. If she can't get my hand she will peck my knee/leg. Can I fix this? She is 8 weeks old. I would just get rid of her but I hatched 3 and she is the only girl.

Here's the Easter peeps, renamed the tattle-tale crew. Telling me all about the big kids picking on them. And Chosen One has some pretty interesting coloration showing up.

Here are some of my April and May babies.

I forgot about this thread and was thinking of making one for waiting on eggs then remembered this one. I kept one from April, she is 19 weeks. An EE/Cochins cross, can't wait to see what she lays. Then I have my May babies. My lavender Brahma and lavender Orpington. Then my Ameraucana is May 30 or June 1. So they kinda fit here. Lol

This is my April baby.

Thanks for reviving the thread. My Dominiques aren't laying yet but their combs are getting red, so they're close.

Their coop mates are 6 weeks older and just started producing eggs.

if y'all remember popeye the one-eyed cross beak from like the april or may hatch- He's doing great! Or she, thinking he due to the red spots but they look bleached so maybe not. I believe i sold the other ones or they didn't make it ( Kept losing them, they seem to be dropping like flies this year, at least for me.) I will have to double check though.
