Cowboy came out last night - he has some shell stuck to his legs - and heā€™s a tiny one too. Heā€™s kind of golden in his feathers.

Darling (formerly šŸ’‹) sheā€™s so pretty with her unique markings !!

Sometime today I think I decided Iā€™m going to do the arduous task of identifying each chick. Iā€™m going to use yarn wrapped around their leg as markers for now since theyā€™re so small and when they are bigger I will use actual ID tags. I have seemingly endless colors of yarn too. Iā€™m a crocheter and a yarnaholic. Plus it wonā€™t constrict their legs and as they get older I can replace the yarn easily šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ„°
 
The šŸ¦ chick made it!! And is now integrated with the rest of the chicks. The fluid under its skin recedes more and more and also has grown some fluff. You can still see where it is and it somewhat looks like it favors the leg a little. Itā€™s a strong chick! Letā€™s just hope itā€™s not a boy cause I donā€™t think Iā€™ll keep a rooster who has any predisposition for that anomaly.

Anyway!! My daughter didnā€™t want to ID the chicks with me, so Iā€™m going to keep all the names as they are and when they get older and can get ID tags on their legs that stay I will name them accordingly then. As close to what they probably are as I can.

There are a few that I can visually make out at all times.

Thumbelina, Black Betty, Mushu (with effort), Rosetta (with effort), Darling, Pierre, Psyche (but it gets harder as she gets bigger) and Jessie and Oni.

Iā€™ll post some pics in the next post.

:yesss: Glad it is absorbing the fluid and getting better.

So fingers crossed it turns out to be a female. :fl
But even then I would not want to risk having her genes in my breeding pool.

Yea I know :(

But I donā€™t plan on breeding any from this batch anyway so she will be fine as just an egg layer.
