Baby Chick Pictures!!!!! POST!

^ Here is my true Ameraucana though I believe she had Araucana in her because she is.. drum roll please.. rumpless!! I did not sign up for that haha She literally has nothing where a tail would be. If you took your finger and touched that area, there is no bone and it squishes in. She literally has no tail. I love her regardless and find her rumplessness endearing!

A true ameraucana has a beard, muffs, pea comb, slate feet and a tail. She can't be "true" if she has araucana as both are different breeds. I feel she is just an Easter egger or clean faced blue aaraucana (mix?)

AAHH!! soooo cute!!! quick, everyone, take me to the ER! I've just fallen prey to a serious case of the chick-itis! side affects are counting down the days until spring and wishfully scrubbing out the brooder!!

Luna hatched her first baby ever! First time she has ever gone 'broody', she is approx 3 years old

Baby appears to be a black silkie I accidently may have left his egg in the pen from.

We just got our babies 5 days ago and they're so much fun!! This is our first time ever having chickens so y'all at BYC are our lifeline!!
We took the girls outside yesterday when it was hot enough (not many days like these left!) and let them snoop around their soon-to-be new home a bit. They loved it! One found a bug and thoroughly enjoyed it! And when I moved them to newly turned over garden dirt, one instantly took a little dust bath and snuggled herself down in the dirt. It was so cute!!
Let me introduce you:

"Pepper" - she is an Australorp. She is the feisty one of the bunch, a bit spicy, like pepper! So far she's also one of the most vocal of chicks.


"Honey" or "Sunny" (since my 5 year old wanted her, her name keeps going back and forth) - is a Buff Orpington. She started out as the lowest chick in the pecking order but has gradually become the bully of the bunch!


"Lucille" on the left and "Pepper" on the right. Lucy is a Black Sexlink and will eventually have a red/brown head and black body. So we named her after Lucille Ball, a loveable yet spunky red head.


We call these two our chipmunk twins. The top one is "Fancy" and she is an Easter Egger, which isn't a real breed, but simply means she will lay pretty "fancy" blue/green eggs. The bottom one is "Carmel" and she is a WellSummer. She will eventually be all brown, like dark carmel.


A great day for a little walk outside! Once we brought them in, they were asleep within moments! It was a lot of excitement!!


And I can't overlook our sweet guard dog - Libby. She is so over protective of the chicks and alerts us anytime they're chirping and we're not around! We let the chicks play around her and she has been so patient with them. You can tell she just wants to play with them, but doesn't understand why tapping them with her heavy paw isn't okay.

I breed with Australorps they are my absolute favourite.

IMy chihuahua has adopted my lone baby quail as her baby. She even tries to bathe it

She is not an Easter Egger as I bought her from a breeder. He also sells Easter Egger's in another pen. I called him and we figured it out.
He has an Araucana hen and roo amongst his Ameraucana's so it's very possible she is an Araucana mixed with Ameraucana.
