I am not sure what color polish you have there. I love polish babies though. WCB is on my list of wants though, as well as Silver Laced.

Yep i have the wcb but the coloring look likes a standard and i ordred bantams, I notice that the bantams r supposed to have more of a whitesh colering instead of the yellow. well we will know about 1 to 2 weeks, they r sooooo cute.

Hi, congratulations on the new babies, they are adorable!

You said they are really noisy and huddle together. They might be cold- the thermometer in the photo shows 80 F. The chicks shoud be 90-100 degrees the first week, then reduce by 5 degrees every week thereafter. How old are they?

I know mine make a racket if they're cold, and when they're comfortable they just quietly peep.

thats exactly how mine act too, last night the we blew a fuse and the heat light went off and they went nuts and it was only for about 3 mins till we got it back on, they are very sensitive it seems to the temp. Sandy
