They’re adorable!!! How old are they? Not very by the looks of them. Did you hatch them?

Thanks Rene! The dark d’Uccle is really pretty even as a chick. The other two are less colorful but as I understand it that changes as they get older and they grow in more of the white spots.

Yes coming along but I’ll say right now I’m not happy with my hatch. The whole point of Nn is to get Nn. I’m less than thrilled that all but one are fully feathered. I’ll bet you $10 that blue baby is a cockerel and end up in my freezer.

Thank you!
I didn't hatch. I'm about 2 hours from Ideal Poultry so I drove and picked up ten chicks. I'm addition to the NN, I bought 2 langshan, 2 brahma (a buff and a light), 1 russian orloff, 1 welsummer, and 2 (sr) crevecoeur.
They are all very friendly.

Sorry you didn't get all NN chicks. I'll keep my fingers crossed that your blue is a girl

Hatching seems like such a crap shoot.

Now you know why when I was looking for the SGD's that I looked for chick's and not hatching egg's. I even got lucky to have 1 boy and 6 girl's in them that were already a month old, since none of the hatcheries seem to have those in stock right now. I just don't trust shipped hatching egg's in getting what you want with the kind of money that you have to pay.
