No RIR should throw a black chick.... Give him a little bit, if it should have feathered legs then it will be a little difficult to see the black fuzz on an new baby with black legs while still in the bator drying.

Well, he has been moved to the brooder and is definitely black with black legs and beak and no feathers on the legs. However, I have also noticed two of the Cochins toes are stuck together on each foot. They look totally formed, but skin keeps the two toes together on both feet. I have never seen this before so now I don't know what to do about these two little chicks. So we have 5 Partridge Cochins, 5 RIR, 1 Porcelain D'Uccle, and 1 black mystery chick in the brooder, with 4 Porcelain D'Uccles, 3 Partridge Cochins still in the bator drying. I can see that there are definitely 2 more D'Uccles, and a RIR hatching.

that there are more on the way that I can't tell through the window.

So that puts up to the count of 5 D'Uccles fully hatched (2 more hatching right now),

Kate,
I have a partridge cochin pullet that I bought from Ideal hatchery that has the same thing going on with her feet. The first and middle toe are webbed together but she gets around just fine.
Congrats on the hatch!!!
Must keep telling my self, no hatching chicken eggs this year, no hatching chicken eggs this year. Ahh what was I saying again???

Hi Okies - next week if you're watching the Olympics and you see a commercial for AAA, that was what I did today. I was outside in the cold and wind since 5:00 this morning and I am miserable - going to bed now!

edited to clarify: my body feel miserable but I'm still happy!!

They lay both.... Some of them lay a pretty dark green and some lay a light greenish blue(more blue with a light green tint to it)

I think I might have to get some of them from you too.

There is a guy that brings americana hatching eggs to our sale nearly every sale... His Americanas are blue... I had gotten some thru the auction and they are beautiful little chicks... Some of them are a light buff and have a blue stripe that goes from the top of their heads and all the way down to their tails... and way puffy in their faces... muffs and beards

Hi, Sooner. The zoo sleepover sounds like fun for parents as well. It sounds like Muesky would volunteer to be a surrogate mom for Madison if you wanted to do something besides sleep on the floor somewhere at the zoo.

Hi Jeannie - I helped make it. DBF Jack and I were in charge of Locations, Camera Cars (all the vehicles in the spot), and the Art Department - that's all props, bumper stickers, signs, etc. I was washing the windows on a school bus at 6:30 this morning. It was windy and very cold. It pretty much stayed windy and cold all day and all our scenes were exteriors - we were outside the whole time. Except for the Talent - they get to hang out in the MoHo (motorhome) with the Makeup Department and the Wardrobe Department most of the time. But I did feel sorry for Talent when they finally had to come to set in their t-shirts and shorts - we had them all put a piece of ice in their mouth so their breath wouldn't show on camera.

Well Okies it has been a really long day and I think I need to go to bed.

Peaches I will try to PM you tomorrow about the ameraucanas you get.

Just a side note about proms. I conceived my daughter on Prom night, so I totally agree with keeping them hosed down during any school coed function.
Now do not get me wrong I do not regret having my girl, she is one of the best things I have done, just wish for her sake I had waited til I was older to
become a mom. The two good things about being a teenage mom is that it was the best deterrent for my daugther having a child at a young age and two
when I finally get grandkids (after I am forty is the deal) I will still be young enough to have fun with them and spoil them to death. hehehe >

Night all, have a good one!

LOL, once she sleeps on that hard floor she might rethink that. I don't know that I will go on this trip. Not that it won't be fun but I try to let her have alittle space & let her doing things alone when she wants too.
