These chick hatched sunday
There are 2 black and 6 yellow babies, they are mutts so I´m looking forward how they will turn out.

I´m trying new litter materials straw pellets and hamp litter. I normally use turf and pine shavings. I do deep litter.

Wow! They are very pretty! Love the softness in the coloring. Your rooster is very regal looking. Truly gorgeous!

Thank You. I just could sit and watch them for hours. And yes he is!

Alho is one of the old Finnish chicken breeds. It's quite calm, lays well and it's a good mother too. Size is smaller than sussex or brahma and wise like chicken. They go first to the perches in evening and comes out first in the morning

Nice looking birds. You'll love that hemp, it's the best bedding I've tried.
