Thanks Ron, they are a holy grail chicken for me!

Wow! Take lots of pics each day & please share so we can live vicariously. Neat birds.

Are the eggs from Toni Marie>

No, but the eggs came from birds directly from Toni.

Yes they are and they are black through and through, meat, bones, organs.......... Now, I can hardly wait out the days until the first candling. At least the eggs are light colored so I don't have to deal with dark colored eggs to try to see through.

In that picture, the roo looks like a bronze statue. The coloring on those feathers is stunning.

Black meat and organs too!? whoa trippy. That would be cool if they laid black eggs. If they stand perfectly still do you ever thing they are lawn ornaments?

@Keeper. Yes thank you! I was looking for just a booder and found that on caigslist. It was the only one I could find period. And the person who had already claimed it couldn't pick it up so I got it.

Its not perfect but they worked hard to make it like new again. And the cost of just a brooder without the cages brand new was only $100 less. It was definitely providence. I now use the old brooder section in my barn as a breeding pen. It was not easy to access as a brooder box being under the laying shelf. My own fault since I built the barn. And when the barn flooded it got the babies.. wasn't good.

You are very lucky to have them!

Well, the eggs I was expecting arrived this morning safe and sound.



Keep your fingers crossed for me, they're Ayam Cemani.

I swear if these chicks hatch, they're living in the house, DH will have to move out to the coops.

Yeah, can you tell I'm excited? And this from the person that keeps talking about down-sizing.

I wasn't going to mention I had them until I had fluffy chicks in the brooder (didn't want to jinx myself, chickens before they hatch, yada, yada), but I was too excited about getting them. I couldn't wait another three weeks.

Cockerel


Pullet (this was a frizzled chicks, hence the funny wing feathers coming in)

Not exactly sure what Im looking at here. How old are these.

Maybe a week? Anyway, we were discussing earlier about being able to sex by the feathering pattern. It's been my experience that males get that little patch over the top of each wing earlier than pullets. I think of it as being at their shoulder.
