Thanks for confirming for me! And you're right!... they really are that soft, just like they look. I can't stop touching them to feel the softness. I think charmin is a great name! Thanks for the idea! I think that will be a name one of the boys - since that also sounds a bit like the word "charming" too! so I can pronounce it charmin' like a southern-sound for the word charming (yet we'll know of the double-meaning!). Thanks!!!!

You should name the other one Mr. Whipple! Careful when squeezing!

Cute babies! Congrats!

OMG those are soo cute!! I think I am going to have to get some Golden Cuckoo eggs from Melissa too. We are in the process of moving to a larger property with 4 acres this next week and then I'm going to get some more eggs!! I have my one lone light golden cuckoo (different breeder) that needs friends lol.

This was him (the one on the left of the photo) when he was really little-he almost has a wheaten coloring he was so blondish

Here he is now-He has darker orange barred feathers up his middle back and very light orange barred feathers on his neck and head (hard to see in the photo) His wings have light black barring. He is still feathering out so is changing daily. He is prob not up to standard but super cute so I'm keeping him

Crazy Cuckoo Baby

funny how it seems that the chicks know who's a girl and who's a boy. Look at those first few pictures!! lol... Come to think of it, I have a few chick pics that I can tell who is who after the fact. And it seems so obvious! lol. But I had no idea.
