OMG she's gorgeous! I'd love to see the other babies when you're done! Happy to hear from you.
The CCL's are growing so fast and doing well as leaders of their flock. Freddy is still quite gentle but very nervous and Luna Petunia seems to be very motherly and curious. We named Mally and Blue's chick, Molly, but I believe it's a cockerel so it's now "Manny". He is feathered so beautifully and has a very small crest. The flock that hatched after them was from the eggs that were from around here. They're mostly mixed Polish/Easter Eggers. There is one pure Polish, and 2 EE's. The others look like very dark EE's with crests and one that has to be RIR mix. He is HUGE! My daughter asked if he might be a meat bird mix, hahaha! So far he's been gentle but I'm keeping a very close eye on him. One of the EE/Polish from this flock was scissor beaked and I lost him last week sadly. There is one other that seems to have an over beak (?). I'm not familiar with this at all but it's like an overbite. He seems to get along fine and it's barely noticeable. The last chicks I had 3 to hatch and the very last one hatched with the protruding naval. It finally fell off after 2 weeks and was a hollow scab. The other 2 (Isbar cockerel and Swedish Black cockerel) seems to have accepted her (Swedish Black pullet, I believe) and they are all growing up quickly! The naval chick just moves out of their way whenever they start chest bumping and trying to dominate. She doesn't want any part in that. She is such a gentle sweetheart.
It's ok. Happens to me way too often, so I completely understand. I hope you're doing well. Thanks again for all of your help and support. I need to get pictures but I have to clear off some apps and old pics to make room on my phone otherwise it won't let me take any new pics.
