Horse Triplets. Hatching on 3/27

Their wings are so different.View attachment 1720173 View attachment 1720174 View attachment 1720175 View attachment 1720177

I think it would be interesting to hatch out more of these horses and study the feathering out patterns.
My bantam cochins noticeably feather out differently depending on sex. The males have short little wing feathers and take forever to feather out on their backs. The females feather out evenly and have longer wing feathers.
It'd be cool to see if there was a way to tell with your horses.

There are fast feathering breeds and slow feathering breeds, so without knowing for sure what the parents are, it’s hard to guess. I would suspect one of each gender, but the chicks may not even have the same parents! Guess we will have to wait and see.

They have two different moms for sure. They came from two different colored eggs.
I am still thinking Egg A is going to be a boy and he just happens to be feathering in much slower.

So cute!!

When I brought my first chicks home, I freaked out when I saw a few of them sleeping like this. I thought they were dead.

How're the horsies today, Kiki?

Good.
Today makes them one week old.
I can't believe I haven't wasted a million papers towels. 2 chicks do not make a lot of poop.

I think I am going to keep them inside a week longer.

I need to weigh them again too.

I can't believe it's been a week!

I think it will be warm enough tomorrow for me to take them outside to play for a little while.
