Wow, gorgeous and great feather quality.Oh yes, I remember you mentioning those as well! Should make for some pretty babies!
Grump Grump does sound really pretty! Do you have any pictures of her? I love Easter-eggers.I'm sure that her babies with Chonkers will be pretty, too! Not quite the same thing, but I hatched a couple Silkie x EE mixes a few years back and they were quite eye-catching birds.

Oh no! Good luck with your naughty JetPack.I kinda don't want to say anything because then he'll have to go and prove me wrong, but he's been a good little cockerel. He isn't aggressive to me, just chatters at me but doesn't wing dance or puff up. One thing I did see yesterday though, when I went in the coop, all the ladies came running in as usual, he did too, then ran back out and called them all to follow, it was hilarious because all the girls went piling back out into the runso apparently they are listening to him and his reponse to me is to call his ladies away from me rather than feel he has to fight me. His brother JetPack on the other hand has turned into a complete ornery stinker. He is attacking me (not flogging but body slamming me) and attacking the waterer as we lift it up and set it back down. He's turned pretty violent already
I've held him on his back and he'll leave me alone for a few days, then he's right back at it.

He is very naughty!
Day 9!!A little late today on posting from the chick development article, but here it is!
Day 9
Hours 192 to 216
Claws appear and begin to grow. The allantois grows larger. Vascularization increases. The very first feather follicles are appearing. It's really starting to look like a chick!
