Great pics! Love the ones sleeping in a huddle.

Adventured outside for the 1st time yesterday - it was sunny and warm - they were in chick heaven - 4 days old.

You shou

These are 2 Polish chicks I got from a friend today. They are about 10 days old. I am still thinking about their names.

You should name them marco and polo!!!

it's a cuddle puddle!

What kind of chicks are those silver and black ones?? My husband took our 2 year old to the feed store and well now we have 9 chicks and no idea what they are but I have 4 little silver and black ones just like that

Just got my 6 chicks last Wednesday!! 1 barred rock, 1 white plymouth rock, 2 buff orpingtons, and 2 rhode island reds. Ordered from Meyers and all 6 seem to be doing well on starter feed 20% and plain water. Eager to see how quickly they grow, but enjoying their cuteness as chicks.

Baby update!


Updated photos of the 'babies', more like gawky teenagers now I guess at just about 6 weeks. I only have 6 chicks but they already sort of split up into two little cohorts.


These I call my 'Three Chickateers', cause they are bold, brassy, and ready for adventure. First out of the tub, first at goodies, and first into trouble (like ticky-tacking across the living floor first thing in the AM.


Nimbus got big! Pretty sure s/he is building up towards roodom, but can't tell by the neck feathers yet. Maybe a Mottled Cochin? S/he reminds me of a golden eagle, only smaller, much smaller.









Gold, whose best side must be her her golden fuzzy-butt, cause it is her most common photo shoot. Buff Cochin?








Cumulo - mmmmaybe a pullet

, not many neck feathers yet, though what little there are seem to be more rounded. Barred Rock.









Now the other three I call the 'Chicken-chicken' bunch, cause they are always last to the goodies, last to want to go outside, and last to want to go back inside

Silver (Sebright). I am hoping this one turns out to be a pullet, but I guess with this breed I may not know for weeks still. S/he poses really pretty either way.










Copper, pretty sure s/he's a Partridge Cochin pullet. I sure hope so. She is the most chicken chicken of them all.










Cloud - definitely a roo-boy! Silver Penciled Cochin? Close? He is small and something of a mama's boy. But beware, those small, shy, quiet ones can grow up to be insecure, and therefore get mean!










(Elmtree, yes, the little Sebright is very photogenic, even when he isn't trying

)
((Darn, my updated pics are so small!!! Gotta see if I can get them bigger

))

OK, last try, with a big picture of most of the little flock

VERY cute little babies you have here! I am very intrigued by the feathers on this breed's legs. I have boring ol' Leghorns & 2 SLWs that are still growing and haven't made it to the 'pretty' stage yet.

2Sesslers, thanks, I think they are adorable, too

. They are all Bantams, but I think all the feathered feet are Cochins. I guess that is better for cold weather, but worse for gathering ick. Maybe some day I will attempt full size chickens.

 

[2Sesslers]

Yeah, down here in the heat/bug infested south I suppose I should stag away from them then...
