Granli's new little Polish peeps!

[Maddemaran]

So I finally got my little Polish bantam chickens that I've longed for!
Postal eggs, 6 purebred Paduan in a mixed color group (gold laced and chamois), and 6 Paduan/Vithätta mix.
Fun fact, in Sweden and Norway they are considered different breeds! I understand that in the US they're just distinguished by color (golden/buff laced, white crested black and so on)?

Since the eggs were mailed I put in four eggs from my own flock, a mix between my bantams (showgirl roo and green egger hens) just to minimize the risk of having a single chick hatching.

On the 20-21/1 11 out of 16 little chicks hatched! 4 of my own, 3 pure Padovana and 4 of the mix.

So who's in for the sexing guessing game eventually?

These are the first pictures of some of them, taken 22/1
Will be updating the thread with pics as they continue to grow

Here they are on the 27/1.
I sold two from my own mix, but kept the two black ones with naked necks. Excited to see how they turn out!
All of the Polish had the possibility of being frizzled, and it turns out the three dark ones all will become frizzled aswell as one of the light ones

Oh woww! Congratulations that are gorgeous!! I have polish, 1 boy and 7 girls, 3 of them are frizzles. It will be interesting to see what you have wether they are boys or girls!

Time for the three week update!
These pics are taken today, 10/2.
One of the little peeps got a small, bleeding wound a couple of days ago that the others wanted to peck at, hence the blue

 

[Maddemaran]

4 weeks!
This morning I heard baby crowing, so tomorrow I'll try to spy which one/ones who are guilty. I do have my suspicions already
