Baby Indio Gigantes

You have ACs... we hatched one and a few Black Swedish. The two breeds look very much a like the AC has the biggest comb.

I just ordered some from Greenfire a few minutes ago. I'm glad you posted this and your pictures because now I know to expect them to look like regular chicks starting out. LOL!

Okay I finally got some regular light pics of the giants! I turned the heat lamp off today as the garage is plenty warm now and I believe it will speed up feathering (anecdotally it does at least). Gonna move em out to my chick stall for more room soon as I move the birds out of it ( beilefelder hen, a bardmanni haha, and a trio of ginger red banty's.) We've seriously lost our minds with the math! Also got 4 guineas and at least a dozen ducks in the brinsea! Gonna be busy building homes and runs.

Wow, look at those long necked little ones! Thanks for the regular updates on how they are doing

Congrats on your babies! I've been stalking this thread for weeks in hopes of chick photo's while waiting for mine to hatch. It looks like you got a nice variety of colors. I really like the darker chicks you got!
I had 5 hatch this week and was very surprised to see so many different markings and shades of the yellow and redish chicks.
Please keep updating as they grow so I know what to look forward to!!
1 not pictured is also all light yellow and the black chick is a liege

More pics here on 4/18. Birds were shipped on 3/22 for reference so right at 4 weeks now. We are really enjoying watching these birds grow up. They are starting to feather up nicely and showing some nice colors. With so little info available on IG's I don't know what there colors are but we'll see what we get. I have a video I made but don't know how to post it. Probably have to you tube and link it. I'll try that l8r. @Gr8danemom thanks for the compliment and you babies are very nice! Stay around to watch our birds as they grow! Hope everyone has a great week! Also had a batch of ducks start hatch yesterday whoa I'm running out of space.

They are looking great. The few things I have seen over the years on the breed, they seemed to have a variety of feather colours.

Ok @Jmpridge I'm curious if you have noticed feathering difference in your chicks? I've got 4 that are feathering more quickly than 1 and I'm beginning to wonder if maybe they're like my brahmas and the cockerels take longer to get feathers than the pullets? Or maybe just my wishful thinking in hopes I've got 1 male and 4 female.
Photos from today at 10 days old. Photo #1 is my thought to be Cockerel.
