[Chicken Heel]

We lost one db chick yesterday. He/she was about 9 weeks old. All other birds in coop seem fine.

From what I have read I concur. Check it, for now, we have 13 breed flock. At this very early stage it is looking like my faves are: brahma, bieles, and neiderrhiners based solely on feathers at maturity and purported reputations that I have read online. None are laying age yet but that may colour my final determination.

I think I got an extra from M. McMurray so we do not even know what THAT breed will be. Also, our bieles are 1 cockarel and three pullets; but no idea the straight run of the neiderrhiners. It'll be fun seeing what it all turns out to be.

Every extra "rare" chick that I have received from McMurray Hatchery going back almost 50 years has been an Americauna cockerel.
