Quite chilly outside. 19 degrees. Birds are not liking it too much.

Here's what I am forced to look at in my yard every day until one week before the season opens and they disappear.

I checked out what RaZ was talking about. Seems Opas new name is Cathy. Heehee.

Opa, I get the same in my back yard too. I love seeing them. Feed them whole corn when it gets real bad..

HERE THEY ARE! Also need help with one... toes...








Ok, they are all 15 days old. This little one is thriving even though she is smaller, than the others except for one little blackish one that is a OEGB. So, its tape and cardboard right? She actually walks all over with them like that.

The hen is not full faverolle. She is a cross. She has the 5 toes on one foot, 4 on the other. She also does not have feathering on her toes, but does have some feathering down her legs. So, I am going to say she's EE, or she is PQ Faverolle, because the coloring is not right for salmon hen... But she was pretty, mite/lice free, and healthy eyes/nose. SO, she is lonely now, but she's going to be a garage chicken with Roger in few weeks. She isn't as nicely feathered out as my girls. She came out of a warm coop. Not that there was a heater, but just enough chickens that you could go in there today with jeans and a sweat shirt. Nice coop. Very nice looking birds too. SO, I am happy. I will go and get a picture of her later. She's going to need a name.

Congrats Nova! I had a chick that had a foot like that. She did fine. It seems like I remember reading it could be due to a vitamin deficiency in the mom.
