Generally, smut is good at the beginning since it usually shows the ones who will have better markings, but there is such a thing as too much, or rather, if it doesn't clear out and sticks around to maturity, that's bad.

Laney, I may have some chicks in a month or two available, depending on a certain situation.

Oh boy this sure can get complicated. But it is fun. I guess time is the best teller.

use a chick toe punch to mark them... the little toe punch i got for like 9 dollars from strombergs it works great... i marked the 4 that had the dark spot on there heads as day olds... they allso have a lot of smutt in there feathers so should be good and dark as adults (maby to much lol) i have also marked the 3 runts... at all most 4 weeks 2 are half the size as the rest and 1 is 1/3 the size of the rest... i marked them so i know so i can cull them as adults... i don't care if they are the best looking birds as adults lol i want the fast growth so i am culling them at 3 weeks old lol...

Oreo and is horrible comb...

Oh I think that is a great picture Delgirl. I know he has too many points but what a great looking face and hackles he has. How many points does he have? I get confused when they look like that, I never know where to start.

lol woops, I was talking about Laney getting bit by the Del bug...I don't have another bird yet. I wish I had another del or two

cool roos. I think Oreo has 8 points

 

[speckledhen]

I'm seeing 9 points on Oreo. The two small ones in the front that are sort of "fused" would count as two of them.
