If I could speak chicken...

I would say to my baby chicks...

You cannot effectively dust bathe in straw mixed with chick crumbles.

Small pieces of straw are not food.

Please stop pecking each other and jumping on each other.

3:30am is not morning time, it is sleeping time.

I love you.

Love your wonderful pictures Cielo! Thanks. That is the first time I have seen a baby Turken.

Good job.

Thank you and I will post more pictures.
I am excited about the California Greys, these are my first. I believe you are correct on coloring. The female is noticeably darker from what I understand. The male is quite light. White eggs too!

I love Turkens. So goofy looking!

Here is Gobble, my nakedest naked neck just hatched! I'm excited to watch him grow up.

goofey looking, but somehow appealing at the same time. :O)

Very! The look like dinos! 10 years ago I though Turkens were freaky looking. Now I LOVE them!

My turken babies are now 7wks old and they are awesome birds... I never wanted them before because of their looks, but I now think they are beautiful birds and look like they will make a great meat bird too, much bigger than their siblings EExbuff orpington and BRxBO...
