So last egg in the hatcher was running around this am, sure don't look like a brahma!
Must have had a pen writing issue on the egg! LOL Cute nonetheless!

Mich are you sure you don't want to run up for cochin babies?

Very cute!

Sally, how do your brahmas compare to your cochins as far as size goes?

You keep saying how big your brahmas are, but I don't think that Alexander is any bigger than my LF cochins. I'm just curious. I LOVE my big chickens, and little, haha.

brahma (non hatchery stock) are a lot bigger than any other birds I own, be them jersey giants, cochin, stock brahma etc. I am telling you 16 lbs, from the rear and they look like turkeys the roos do! I will go snap a pic of a foot in my hand for you!.... brb

I love seeing everyone's babies and learning from all of you.

Hugs to those dealing with sick, hurt or worse babies. ;-(.

I have no idea where mine came from. He could be from a hatchery, or he could be from a breeder. He's big, but I don't think he's that big. I can't wait to see pictures!

Yes, I talked to her about it, and hers are walking now. It just seems so pathetic that my brain keeps thinking, how can it possibly go from scooting its face across the floor to walking on its own? Another issue is food, I can get it to drink, but not eat. Soon it will starve. Right now it's fluffy and healthy looking.
Y cant it get to food? sprinkle some for it

I sit it in an entire bowl of crumble and nothing, it cries. It hasn't stopped crying! The chick I had booted's toes are straight now, so I removed the boots. It flops on its back constantly (did that with the boots too). It's not eating much either.

bubba wouldn't shut up either, but giver her time, do you have any of that growgel? its cheap on ebay you should get some and keep it handy it lasts forever if you only use a pinch at a time!
Never heard of Growgel, I'll look into it! He's slowly starting to get better. I took his brace off, and the legs are more inward. When DH gets home, I'm going to try the rubberband method. Miss Flips On Her Back isn't flipping over today!!!

Be still my beating heart, you're from England, also on my Bucket List!!Welcome to the thread!!

Yes. Live in the Fens of Cambridgeshire. Another words there are Bulls in a field opposite my house and views of more fields for miles. Nearest grocery shop is 9.8 miles away!

Cambridgeshire....It just sounds whimsical....Sigh

In luck just spotted her. Note the size difference. Full grown too!

OMGoodness, I want one...

Oh Sally, you know I want to!!! I just can't right now.

I really have to plan a day trip to come up, but I will!! BY THIS SUMMER, I AM COMING TO VISIT. See, now I've said it, and I must stick to my word. I have a feeling DH better build another coop and run before I come though!!
