very flighty but gorgeous....  we dont hold them and spoil them so I guess its to be expected some wouldnt sit on the coffee top so I didnt bother with images lol  turd chicks!!!! 

lol, understand. I don't handle and spoil mine either. The leghorn hens are calmer and easier while the roosters tend to be the flighty ones here. Hoping to replace him with a son who isn't so flighty.

Can you tell if they are pullets yet?

yes!! you want them now????

Cans of coffee?! Yes, please!

MC  I can send you nine of the frizzles and all those misc ones I hatched from mini horse!!  two have purdy beards too!

Would you believe I don't need more chicks?

...not enough time to read last 20 or 30 pages... but real quick... power went out while I was at work for 3 minutes... 2 incubators off since then... 1 luckily uses a standard switch, not digital push button, so it came back on and has all the important eggs... 1 that stayed off has the last egg hatching, the cross beak in it. It was 72• in there! THE BABY IS STILL ALIVE! So I took this as a sign that I will take a chance on raising the cross beak no matter what, if it wants to try that hard. I moistened its exposed parts, its head is stuck to the membrane, no surprise, but the rest is still flexible and it still has veins to absorb... The 2nd off one had a mixed set of eggs (replacements that looked like duds too up till now), and a set of Araucana, that didn't look good either...so not horribly upset at the outage other than the chick who had to suffer through it... 2 more days to lock down for the AC and Tolbunt... need cross beak to hurry up so I can clean/sanitize and move the other eggs and use the "good" incubator to lock down in...

I remember someone a while back had a white chick that they couldn't figure out or just was shocked to see it... I showed my Splash Maran boy... well I hatched another platinum white chick...but from a Buff Laced Brahma supposedly... aren't their chicks orange/yellow? Has feathered feet... so could be, or could be another Splash Maran lol... -sigh-

@Sally Sunshine the chicks are soooo adorable!

There were chicks? I only saw coffee.
