How do you get chicks to pose for such perfect pictures??? Mine are always just running about like last minute Christmas shoppers.... Great pictures!

well that little ridge of a comb on one of the spice girls makes me think boy. None of the other girls has that comb..

hatcherys mess up sometimes. i ordered girls and got 4 boys in with it. and they were not extras. 1st one could be a cockrel. jut keep an eye on it

Cinnamon does look like she/he might be a roo.

Either way they are all adorable.

They were sleepy and I just kept picking them up and putting them back on the towel until I finally managed to get a decent pic. There were MANY out-takes! LOL


Cinnamon does have a bigger comb than the rest, but is a generally bigger bird all round, the beak size is a lot larger, and more advanced feathering. I'd read that roos tend to feather up slower in the early days, plus they're all different breeds so it's hard to properly compare, but I'm hoping the size difference is just because she's a bit older than the rest and a faster maturing breed.

Another photo session! These chicks are so cute I can't resist.

Lacey is still sick

She seems to have Cocci, which we're treating all of them for, but her poop remains bloody after day three of treatment. She's certainly smaller than the others with less feathers but she is acting just fine otherwise and quite active so hopefully she'll pull through.

Gone! (With poor nutmeg on the bottom under the others):
