Adorable!

Such sweet photos of your Andalusians! I received two from Meyer (in a Rare Breeds mix), but unfortunately one didn't make it. It was a blue and I suspect was a female-- also was my favorite chick and in the couple of days I had her I named her Pussywillow.

The other chick has been a total riot from day one! He is now one of two dominant young roosters (and unfortunately I need to find him a home, since I currently have 7 roosters and only five hens!) and is absolutely gorgeous! As a chick he (along with my Welsummer female) were the two most inquisitive, friendly, and independent chicks. Long before any of the others were interested in hopping up out of the brooder box, the two of them would climb up my arm and perch on my shoulders, one on each side. He was always very interactive, alert, and just overall hilarious! As he got older, he stopped wanting to be held and is now more interested in chasing the girls LOL, but has remained friendly toward me. He was always the most interested in mealworms of all my chicks and still, if he sees me bring some in, will rush up to the front and try to eat them all before anyone else gets on!


Born April 6, this is a photo of him a few days ago. He's got the most impressive tail feathers and looked a lot like the lighter chick in the original post on this thread when I first got him:

This is my Andalusian as a youngster:

I think I might have a blue andalusian. I got this chick from Big R in a random pullets box. It looks very andalusian. Just curious what other people think.
It is about 3 weeks old in the picture below.

It was only a few days old in the picture below.
