Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

When I had an issue with this, I was told they'd be flat by morning.

That's what I'm thinking. In parrots, I know to check in 3-4 hrs...but chickens, well, I'm not so sure! I will check 1st thing in the morning and see how flat they are. If not, then we will be doing some sour crop management.

Agreed. It should look back to normal in the morning.

Here are the babies today at two weeks old.

Elda the Silver Gray Dorking:

This face. This makes everything better.

Georgie the Black Copper Marans:

Kit-kit the other SGD:

Louise the other BCM (who blinked, darn it!) :

Mabel the Welsummer:

And the Legbars, not from Meyer, but they're too precious not to share. Violet, on the right, who would not come out from behind Elda:

Poppy doing her best swan impression:

. Had to share this pic of my new rooster I named jack. I just love him. I bought him from Myers in January as a day old peep.

They get cuter every day! I'm hoping Meyer's lists their Cream Legbars for my hatchday today...not holding my breath though!

Update on my babies this morning.... I just went to wake them up & Coco's crop is completely flat, while Brownie's was just a tiny bulge, but he was back over at the feed dish loading up! I must have caught them last night as they finished eating for the evening & that's why their crops were so large. Usually they have stopped eating either long before or after I go "tuck them in". Glad it doesn't appear to be anything to worry about! They must be having (or getting ready for) a growth spurt!
