Redinator's First Hatch-Along

[Slothinc]

Here's the ones that are easy to tell apart and they're all Sweety's chicks.

I'm pretty sure Taz is the father to the first 3, but I think Snickers might be a parting gift from the RIR I recently rehomed, just before gathering eggs to incubate.

They are absolutely adorable

I do love my mixes, so much variety in color patterns.

I also love how each one fits their name perfectly! Even though they were chosen before hatch!

I'm having my son help take pictures of the rest so I can get better shots of the marking on their neck and chests and see if that helps.

For all of you in this thread who have suffered great loss, my heart goes out to you.

If you're able to get a clear enough picture and they have single combs, that's another way you can generally tell very similar-looking chicks apart.

I ran out to a craft store and found these:

Now if I could get them to hold still for half a second, I might be able to get this to work, lol.

Just my notes: Snickers, Cookie and Kit Kat have feathered legs, Reese has naked legs . . .

Can anyone tell comb type yet? Pot and the two boys have straight combs, Sweety has a pea comb.
