This is 7, the one that hatched last night.

Dude looks like I shaved his head while he slept

Creel OEGB bantams I got from TSC. They are growing on me. I'm not particularly fond of barred chickens.
One to the left is definitely a cockerell the other I'm un sure of yet.

And ugh, they all still huddle on the ground in a corner to sleep. They use the roosts during the day but sleep on the ground in the corner at night.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Do you have thinner roosts or just standard sized ones? My youngsters sleep on wire cage roofs for most of the time, I think because their feet are so small compared to where most of the main flock sleep

 

[NagemTX]

That could be it. The roosts are well let's see if I have a picture. They are garden or landscaping tembers.

Yeah, they might be nervous about the roost size

One of my babies that I think is full Phoenix. She is 8 weeks old. She absolutely adores me.

Ended up with 9 mini Moonies. Not holding out a lot of hope for the last 4, they didn't look too great when I candled last night

Happy but sad about the last 4. Congrats on Moonie babies?

It's roughly a 35% I think, not my worst for shipped eggs by far. Possibly my best now that I think about it.
