Total "duh" from me... I knew that. I think after typing Marans twice, my brain just defaulted to that again. Yes, she is a beautiful Wheaten Ameraucana!

Oh, that is too sweet! You always come up with the cutest poses for your chicks... Is the one on the middle right blue?

Anybody interested in some four week old roos?

Your broody looks very determined in that picture! Hopefully she makes a good mom.

Gr33nEggers - Hawthorne had pullets and laying age hens when I was there last week.

I was at Hawthorne today and they had lots of chicks and some pullets a few weeks old as well. They where changing the shavings and cleaning the food & water when I was there. They were trying to convince me to take a few home.... I told them I have 19 hens/pullets right now.... and that my husband would notice cute little chicks. I can only sneak in older pullets right now.

iamcraftqueen,
I kept getting distracted by the duckings and goslings! So cute! No one told me chicken math included the billed variety...I guess it's a good thing ducks/geese aren't allowed on our property.

I am more and more convinced that 2 or 3 of my chickens are roos. I need to poke around on some of the breed forums, but those combs are remarkably pink/red for 4 weekers. Sigh.

Does anyone have any meat bird eggs available for hatching?

Here are our chick pictures. Will be 5 out of our 8 Bearded D'anvers plus our Ameracauna X Barred Rock. Should be listed as follows:
Andy (roo) Ameracauna X Barred Rock - w/my gorgous hubby holding him.
Nimrod - D'anver blue quail hen
Snowy - D'anver blue splash hen
Inigma - quail ??? wrong comb for the breed. Hence the name.
P.J. D'anver quail roo
Madison - D'anver blue splash hen

Feel free to correct me if I have mislabed any since I'm new to the chick thing.
