So cute! 

Thanks! Might be one of the deepest chocolate colors I've seen freshly hatched.

Question: my choc Roos seem to be really lightening up. Do you think they could be sunbleached? When do Roos usually molt? At a year old?

This project doing well. I'm pretty excited about these guys.

Quick question.... I have just recently hatched chicks like this from My solid Chocolates. Does this mean they are split or barred or something? The lil babies look like they have eyeliner and I know it was Off of My Chocolate Roo and Chocolate hens because they are the only ones in maturity and laying.
