Haha! I was going to say that the wee ones look ready to start laying soon. Poor Betty is looking forward to it as well. Having some mature girls around will take some of the pressure off her-- strength in numbers and all that. She must be a favorite of one of the guys.

Speaking of guys, that tiny little frizzball (aka Hurricane Donut) is still crowing!!!

He's not even completely feathered yet. Probably around 5 weeks or so. Wish you could hear it. Sounds like someone is opening a squeaky window. Very funny. Hopefully he won't get much louder. Certainly not as bad as the cockateil!

Cheeka, Loved all the pictures, the tiny wee one is growing so fast!!

Wanted to share my gosling Paddy's new pictures...
He meets his "mommies" and daddy


That's Big G coming to see what the peeping's about and why is WeeWee on the ground and not in Moms lap?!?
Angel and Snowy in the background, the other possible "Moms"




My favorite hen, WeeWee claims Paddy is hers! She even sat down with us for a bit

Paddy napping, whew that was a tiring few minutes!

Quote: I am seeing that feather growth on some of my hatched chicks too. Its like the shaft isn't opening up enough when you look at the base of the feathers. Especially my BR/GLW crosses. (They all look like BR as they feather out.

Ugh I am doomed) I am watching to see if the "bad hair thing" is something they will grow out of. Its really cute tho, makes them so fluffed up!

Love the chicken and goose pics you guys. Starting to look a little like spring. So wonderful to see the older birds accepting the new babies. Paddy is utterly spoiled, isn't s/he? Tiring few minutes!!!

Someone also mentioned that it might be a problem with not getting enough sunlight. Might be more of a problem with winter babies under heat lamps or something. I will definitely supplement with some extra protein, especially during the first molt. When is the first molt, anyway? Spot was the only one that had a noticeable molt. Around 7 months? The others lost gradually.

I was wondering if WeeWee was going to give him up! She was very upset when I took him in, I felt so guilty.
I need to post the chick pics, they are so gangly ugly right now! My little EE/GLW crosses are adorable with the puffy cheeks tho

I will see if the DDs will help get pictures again tomorrow. DH is even helping, LOL!
