Picture Day!!!

[ColoradoPip]

I like pictures and figure you all might also. At least one or two started trying to crow in the mornings, beginning about a week ago. I don't know which are males/females from the Marans or Sussex, if you see some and are confident let me know, otherwise it's not a big deal because they'll grow til eating size regardless, and prior to that time it will be pretty obvious!

The brooder I built has worked well, though there are a couple of things I will for sure change. Sure am glad I laid an old comforter down under it and also added a tarp, will make cleanup when they move easier.

The girls and boys seem to be quite happy and while cleaning things up, changing water, etc. I took some pics

Say Hello to my furry footed friend. This is one of my favs for sure!

They love hanging out by the edge for some reason

Another furry footed friend, this one usually comes to say hi and likes to perch on me, sometimes on my head. I hope it's a hen because it is so friendly. If not, maybe it'll be the rooster I keep.

Looking for a landing spot

One more

I thought the Sussex would be more friendly, they sure are cool looking

Chicks being chicks

Some times a break is in order, being a chick is a lot of work!

I rest my arm inside the coop so they become friends

They might only be using me to get a better view but I don't mind

This guy is always interested in everything and is almost always the first one to come to me

Chick selfie time!!

What you lookin' at?!?

When I click edit, I see the pics. I've tried copy and pasting the links again. They always work in edit mode, not when I post, and only those three. How strange.

Maybe I have broken BYC, too many pics

Someone kick the hamsters, the wheel stopped spinning!!


Edit:
Ok, so I figured it out. I don't know why, but I had to edit the links for those three pics and change them from "https" to "http". Now they show

I see a lot of potential males in there - all those bigger, pinker combs.

Uh oh...... I see boys

 

[FluffyBottomBantams]

roosters are a hoot!

 

[cluckmecoop7]

Not when you have to many fighting over the FEW hens....

This is true...this is true...just means you need more hens!!! YAY chicken math!
