Jewel has a chick this morning!!! I did not get the camera quick enough but will post pics as soon as I can get one. OMG!!! It is so tiny and cute!!! I think it is Blue but it is kind of hard to tell in the dim lighting. I am so happy for her, she has been so dedicated to hatching her eggs and you can tell already how much she loves her little fluff ball.
congrats 
Animals know who cares...doesn't and your little hen has just been given a good life full of opportunity for fun....and just being a chicken...she didn't have before! I would take the opportunity to report if he is at the flea market every Sat, as his treatment of these poor chickens is not acceptable! Welcome to a good chicken life RainbowHe had a beautiful LF cochin sunburn splash rooster that had a twisted beak. The upper beak went to the left and the lower to the right and it was severe. And the rooster had a eye infection in one eye and his eye was matted shut. I so badly wanted to get this rooster to but I have a rooster and didn't have another place to put him and the hen to. But in another cage he had 4 cochin bantam cockerels they all looked ok ( for now). Most of his bantams in general looked better. I guess cause he sells them as pets more then dinner. My hen was in the dinner coop.
I just feel even if you raise animals for dinner that they need to be treated with care and respect all the way to the "kill" shot or how ever they do it.
U could just see in the eyes of these chickens that some of them seemed to be praying for death just so they were scared and in pain anymore.
My little hen was one of those. But yesterday afternoon after a few hours with me she seems like her spirits had lifted a little. She was up walking around and eatting. She loved the start and grow. I'm going to go get her some meal worms and black oil sunflower seeds.
You have some pretty adorable babies there! I love the coloring on #2...and #4 was all done with the photo shoot...LOL!Here are my Cochin? bantam orp? at 3 weeks old
