Such darling babies. She (They) all look very much like mine did at that age. I've hatched one Fav by accident this summer. I thought I was collecting all eggs each day, but I guess not

. I have their nest in a plastic crate, and after hatching found her way to the bottom of it. I heard her when collecting eggs. I put her in with another hen that was broody but not having any luck hatching and tada...2 problems solved. She's Very dark, but I have found that after a while, mine lighten. Everyone's molting now, but the feathers growing back are much lighter. I'm not sure why that would happen, but it's all of them, not just one. I anxious to see the if this new baby will lighten. She's a little older than your sweeties. Maybe yours will lighten too.

Thanks! I hope so too.
If not, no real loss, as they're just for my backyard
I've been trying to get experience with different breeds, because I'd like to pick 2 or 3 and really focus on them. Eventually. Salmon Favs seem to be one of those where there are not a lot of breeders, I had a hard time finding breeders for Australorps too. :/ But I see Ameraucanas and Marans everywhere I go.

Anyway, I'm taking someone suggestion and periodically taking pictures to send to Ideal. Not to gripe, but just o they know how to improve

My poor Dizzy. 2 weeks old today.

She is feathering out nicely and good coloring. She is content and growing so I am hesitant to put her down. She just has a big eye that seems to be growing. But she appears to not be in pain and is eating, drinking, and not being picked on by her 5 brooder buddies. So I will continue to watch her as she grows.

I believe she has Ron Patterson's LF salmons too. She is the closest breeder to you.

Hi again. Today I took some pictures so you will know for sure that there is life after a bad eye. She has it open some time, and closed other times.


Here she is forward facing. You can tell there's a problem with that side of her face, but it never seems to bother her. She can be both sweet and feisty, but mostly she's a very sweet lady.
Another thing I encountered today.
I do not have any chocolate egg layers in with my Faves. Good grief, where could it have come from. My fave eggs always look like the other 3, a tanish pinkish whitish egg. This is a very strange thing indeed. Anyone else ever had a rogue egg?

awwwwwwww thank you! I am very hopeful that she will make it and thrive! I noticed yesterday that she is rubbing her eye on her shoulder. She might be getting a bit uncomfortable with it now. But otherwise she is still doing great. I think I will be taking weekly pics to post in here.
