Baby Chick Pictures!!!!! POST!

Oh and I agree, once named it sticks. I have a favorite roo named Baby Dyann after the woman who gave me the eggs for a desperate broody. Only one egg hatched so I named the chick after her. It turned out to be a male but he still knows his name as Baby Dyann.

Your avatar looks frizzle. I have 3 blue frizzles a buff frizzle and a splash frizzle

Feather heavy for body size so probably a girl


Feather light for body size so probably boy

Both chicks are less than a week old. You will have to notice early as the boys feathering will eventually catch up with the girls. I find it becomes harder to sex by feather to body ratio the older they get. There are other feathering characteristics that can be applied as they grow up.

I have a yard full of frizzles....dont you love them. They are so fluffy and soft. My first little chick that I found turned out to be a roo (my avitar). Chickie was as faithful as any dog.

I started out with a white friz roo some one gave me. He threw some chicks, and I gave him to a gal who begged for a roo. Then someone was giving away a blue splash roo. and I wanted blue chickens and bred him with a blue splash hen. Then I mostly keep the solid blue ones They have been becoming more lavender like my avatar.

I just love the gray. I had one white frizzle roo from offspring but it died. I named him Snowy and boy was he showy! What a looker but I never got babies from him. Im still waiting for another white frizzle.

Ive been breeding frizzle faverolles and currently have two blue faverolles with frizzled feathers. Of course they are not pure, none of my birds are. They are cochin X faverolle.
