Sorry, been busy and had a nightmare appointment at the dentist. Some updated pics, I believe the littles will be 8 weeks Monday and the BCM twins will be 25 weeks. Some of them look a bit rough due to molt.

I get it, I'm been scrambling to get the runs winterized and then had to scramble to keep waters from freezing as we've had a nasty cold snap.
You have a beautiful flock and I hope it went well at the dentist for you.

Thank you! It got quite chilly here for a couple days, but it's warming back up now (50's-60's) I've had the north facing side of the run covered for a month or so (our weather is super bipolar ) As far as the dentist goes, I had a bad reaction to the oral sedation pill (emotional wreck instead of high as a kite) and I'll be going to an oral surgeon next

I think we may be getting our first marans egg today from Thelma Yes the coop is a mess, don't judge, it'll be scooped when I get home from work, lol

This little lady, Zoe, is a spitting image of Betty when she was a chic She definitely isn't an Austra White like I originally thought since her muffs and little beard came in, along with her slate legs. Ideas on what kind of mix she is? She came from Meyers.

Did you get a Marans egg? Or was she tricking you?

Maybe one of these?

Edit to add: those are probably part Ameraucana or part Easter Egger, and I don't know for sure about the other part. There could be a bit of White Leghorn in there to make them lay better, and that could contribute to the feather color too.

She has been pacing back and forth in front of the nest boxes and going in and out, all day every day since that video, still no egg

Good catch! Thank you! Not sure why they would give an expensive hybrid as the freebie chic, but I'm not complaining. She's adorable! Guess we're just waiting on an egg now.
