Remember Dragon?

Here are some of her kids with their foster mom- their feathers are coming in like silver BR....

its so hot, i have them in the house, and they are a riot!

Dragon is one cool looking guy!

Dragon has an amazing comb....

Here are some of my crew (computer back plus new mother/logic board.....glad it was insured!).

Firstly little Blondie.

Secondly headless chickens.

O.K.....just sleeping.

Thirdly Jurassic chickens...strangely tall and beginning to look (and at times behave!) like game birds.

Well, after a few days of confusion because of an error on my part, my three NN pullets have a ship date! Now I just need to get busy on making a brooder!

I WAS going to use an old fish tank, but it seems to have been thrown out when I wasn't looking... Anyone have suggestions?

I use either a box or those big plastic storage things or both! LOL I had cut a hole on the side of the box and plastic thing and then tape them together. I use the plastic part to keep the food and water because it is easier to clean. Once they even had a 3 room apartment! LOL Be sure you put something down in the plastic if you use it like bedding or papertowels though. It would be easy for them to slip if you don't and you don't want any to develop spraddle leg.

I agree with your statement, and I am not going to correct you. However, give me your thoughts on this scenario. I have a chick from a black bow tie rooster and a black no bow tie hen.
The chick is now 7 weeks old and looks to be female. She is almost completely white. Just a few black feathers on her butt. She has a completely feathered neck. However, she has 5 toes
on only 1 foot with feathers on both feet and a big frizzy beard. Her feet and legs are white, not black like mom & dad.

Previously, I have had 2 batches of chix from this same combo. None have been predominately white or had completely feathered necks, although I have had some DOAs.
There are no frizzes at Rancho Nada Mayor. What do you think? The roosters Mama was sleeping with the Postman, or grandpa could be a frizzy?
