My first chicks

[MamaJoJo]

So, when I posted pics in what breed is this, someone suggested they were oegb splash. ?? Any one else think the same or different? And any clues to what sexes I may have? I'm hoping for at least one roo but not three roos lol. And just to share my excitement the hen in the background of these pictures has been nursed back to health after a dog attack and layed her first egg today!

This pic was two days after the dog tried to eat her. Even her crop was torn open, the poor girl leaked out of her chest when she ate or drank anything. so today is definitely a celebration day for her!

I have some chicks myself right now, but they are far from my first. Would you like to see pictures?

 

[MamaJoJo]

Of course! Feel free to add to this thread the more the merrier. Plus it will help me learn more about chickens.

I was browsing back through these pictures and I wanted to ask what the dark marks on chick number threes beak are?

 

[MamaJoJo]

Anyone?

 

[TherryChicken]

Ill get some for you soon .. Also it just looks like the color of the beak.. I have a pullet with a yellow and black beak

New update! What the heck is going on with these feathers?? Is this scruffy stage normal?

 

[TherryChicken]

Looks to me just the feathers coming in, it could also be that they are bantams, my past bantam cochins feathers were kidious and scruffy for about 5-6 weeks... Sorry it took me so long but here are 2/4 of my blue and black Ameraucana chicks
