No, they start out as chipmunk striped chicks. If your's have no red coloring on them they aren't going to develop it. At eleven weeks BLRWs lacing is very apparent.

Okay, I think I can post this flickr video of the peeps. There are 2 speckled sussex and 2 partridge http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0090009/photos/yamhill1056/sets/72157623586987828/ cochins in the tub and the other four are the wyandottes..they were not chipmunky but black and whit and the really grey/white one..any comments are appreciated. Constructive critcism always applicable

The bathtub worked very well this year and last year. I line with newspaper and then pine shavings.. DH made a little top screen to keep the ever helpful kitties out. Its easy to wipe down. We never use the tub much as there is a shower at other bathroom. We thought of it because the Wilco stores that sell chicks use the big metal horse water tubs to keep the babies in. Window over tub allows for ventilation on warm days. I recommend it to any one!
