These aren't the greatest pictures (the babies were balancing on chicken wire, so they didn't have their tails flared up like they normally do), but I just had to show photos of my babies!
I LOVE the color on this little cockerel! I have a pullet of the same color but a little younger. Anybody know what this color is called, if anything? He's getting in some reddish feathers on his tail and he has white feathers on both of his wings and in other places.
This girl has a totally awesome tail. And it's interesting to note she's getting little white flecks in her feathers here and there! Maybe some mottling? I wonder if she'll get more as she grows up.
Silver birchen?
This girl's name is Chiffon, and she's currently the smallest of the four and a crybaby.
Pure white cockerel, who is a bit younger.
This pullet is only about three months old and currently not very typey, but I'm hoping she might fill out some more as she grows up. She's already improved in the last couple weeks, actually. I'm keeping her regardless, her typeyness just determines whether I use her for breeding or not.
Her name is Tawny, and she has a sister named Tucson who I couldn't get a good picture of because she kept hiding.
My rooster, Prince, who fathered all of these babies other than the three month old pullet above:
Hatch day for sixteen eggs in the incubator next week! And sometime before then hopefully my broody's four eggs will hatch.
