October hatch "Grow-a-long"🐥

[Gammas Bearded Babies]

I need to post a picture of my lonely d’Anver baby but keep forgetting! It’s very clearly a boy so I’m a bit bummed about that but oh well! Now I’ll have 5 boys and two pullets—NOT good ratios. Guess I need more? He’s not lonely anymore either—I bought a couple buff laced polish and a buff Brahma bantam to give him friends. They’re tiny and adorable!

Awe man!
Yep definitely need more!
Looking forward to pics of em all!

I have yet to get pics of the buff babies!
I'm super excited to be able to work towards my breeding project now that my numbers are down and I've got several layers! I still have 1 boy to rehome but it is my grandson's and I am really hoping his other gamma will take the lil fellow and start raising her own chickens now that she sees how much her first grandson luvs em!!!

Congrats on selling the boys, it’s always so hard! I have a 4 month old Silkie Ameraucana mix cockerel I’ve been trying to sell for the past 2 months and not one person has expressed any interest.

I would love to see your buffs!
I just have the one buff left but she is turning out quite nice. Hoping to post update photos of the Silkie mob later today, I’ve just been so busy with work.

DS#3 calls them "The Mob", because they crowd around us so closely when we got into the coop.

Notice their complete fearlessness among the adults.

Welll since you asked still need one of Oliver I keep forgetting when I’m over in their brooder! The Polish is Butterscotch—Butters for short and the Brahma still needs a name! We lost the second Polish baby though so I’m waiting to make sure the Brahma is out of the woods first! Meyer Hatchery to CA is tough for fragile baby birdies :-( But Butters is getting along with Oliver great Brahma baby spends a lot of time under the brooder still…so I’m not ready to celebrate yet! She’s very sweet though!

Okay, here’s Oliver! Five weeks old. He doesn’t like to stand still, so it took a lot of tries!

Tonight I've got two of them up on the main perch -- surprisingly well-accepted by the adults.

Your chicks are so adorable. Olive especially, and I understand the struggle of photographing chicks.
