VERYCHERY,

That is one handsom Roo, Lucky you!!!

 

[verycherry]

Thank you! He's an excellent protector and provider too.
You have a beautiful daughter!

Michiganwoods is the luck one.......she's got 4 boys to choose from! It'll be hard deciding on just one or two.

.......or she'll just have to order more cute pullets, lol!

They are the cutest fuzzy butts!

When they come out of the brooder are you going to use your Savannah playhouse infirmary or send them straight to the big house?

 

[gumpsgirl]

Glad they all made their journey okay! They are are adorable!

Congratulations on your new little fuzz butts!

Awwww - what cute fluffies!!! I am going to put my order in for ameracauna(sp? - short term memory loss) pullets within the next week. YAY. So I was Especially glad to hear of how pleased you were with the shipment and Ideal hatchery. Thanks for posting the sweet pictures.

VeryCherry - your rooster is just stunning!!! He is so glossy and handsome.

 

[MichiganWoods]

Thank you all so much!

verycherry, WOW! He is beautiful!! I really hope I have a roo that turns out looking like that! I have no idea what colors I will end up... any ideas?

Beau coop, they'll go straight to the "big house".

I was thinking that if the Rhode Island Whites (the poor little yellow guys - only three of them!) end up being 1 roo and 2 hens, I will put them in the Savannah playhouse coop in the early spring so that I can hopefully get some purebred eggs to hatch.

I opted to keep an eye on them for a while inside but needed to get the heat up ASAP. These guys are 5-6 days younger than my first 7, and I decided that since the little guys out numbered the bigger ones, I'd see how they'd do together. No pecking no going on and they all just sort of mingled and went, "eh".

 

[SGM]

Oh my gosh they're so cute!!! I LOVE those fuzzy cheeks.

 

[EasTurdHill]

I like the pool-brooder idea.
Just got my chicks from Ideal this week too.

 

[debilorrah]

All 4 of my Ameracauna chicks look like that - they are now 9 days old.
