Adorable chicks and momma hen. Congrats!

Thanks! So far she has proven herself. I really am mostly guessing but it looks like I have 2 boys and 2 girls based on their wing feathers but I don't know how accurate that is for EEs. A question, I know that EEs sometimes lay a brown egg but one of these babies came out of a white egg one came out of a brown and two came out of very pale green. They told me they were Ameraucana/Aracauna which I figured wasn't true but could the white one be something totally different or do the sometimes lay white? I guess it would depend on the cross wouldn't it.

The only drawback I see at this point to using a broody is that I don't know who came out of what egg though I think the smallest red one came out of the white egg. It also has pink legs and no puffy cheeks. I am looking forward to seeing what they turn out to look like.

Is anybody here going to the Small Animal Exchange tomorrow in Granite Bay?

I have decided to bring my 5-6 week old chicks that I don't want to keep (the Isbar x EE crosses, a bunch of suspected SBEL and PE boys and a bunch of Silkie Crosses (Partridge, Black & White)) to it. I have had them on Craig's List for a month and no responses. They will be $1 for suspected boys, $2 for unknown/girls. I just want to find them new homes.

I also have 4 bantam cross hens for sale - I can bring them if somebody wants to buy them, otherwise they will stay here. They are Light Brahma x Sumatra, and have tried to go broody on me already a few times so they would be great mothers. They lay small to medium light cream/white eggs.

I also have one Speckled Sussex boy, one Blue Olive Egger Boy and two Swedish Flower Hen Crested Boys (Both Blue) available. I won't bring them unless somebody here wants them.

PM me if you are interested in any of the above

I may. what time is it? look for the 2 crazy kids and the guy shaking his head

How did the chickens do in the heat today?

This looks like a mini heat wave so I hope all will be ok this time.

He once had a strawberry and was running with it, couldn't see where he was going...ran right into a wooden barrel.

Ridiculously cute. I might hatch out some babies if I get a broody next year.
