Wow, they do look like crows! Mine always remind me of vultures at this age. The sure are cute though...

Quote:Thanks! I love their tails most...looks like they'll be silkie feathers growing there Even the feet are cute
I raised a crow. I assure you, these do NOT look like crows!!! Unfortunately, chickens often stay ugly for WEEKS! But I am REALLY curious to see what your babies look like as they older. Keep us posted!!!
they actully look smaller to some black birds i raised lol. all except there adorable feathered feet. keep us posted!! i wanna see what they look like when there older
Quote:I raised a starling once...little booger loved me so much! It was hard releasing him, he kept coming back I think those birds migrate..so I wanted to be sure he left.. Yeah, their ugly phase is cute..neat to watch all the feathers come in, and change before your eyes! I'll def. keep posting every few weeks, I'm curious too! I know one is a def. roo..so can't wait for him to mature
Quote:Will do! Yes, their feet are too much They have dads huge feet, and moms feathered toes. Their dad has feathers on his feet too though. So maybe they'll be extra fuzzy on the toes.
Quote:When does this stage end? The ugly duckling stage that is..in the meantime, I'll sit back and enjoy them It varies. Whenever they get all their 'big kid' feathers in. The scruffy look is caused by all the new feathers growing in. Yea, enjoy them while they're like this. They won't be innocent and cuddly for long
