I'm cleaning this of the arguments. Any further posting along that line will result in someone getting a vacation, no expenses paid.

Hi Del girl, I grabbed some pics of the babies and will post later on tonight. So look for them.

I can't wait to see those, Germaine! How old are they?

Hello Cynthia! They are about 3 weeks old. They were not happy about the pictures at first and then warmed up.

DH and I are digging trenches for water and power (so I don't have to carry it out to the coop in the winter) Ahh dirty, long job.

I will get those pics up after we have to quit and I collapse.

The rain got me an early reprieve. Here are my babies. The are just a tad over 3 weeks. Growing up!

They look good! Bet in another two weeks, you'll be able to tell all the boys from the girls.

I sure hope so. Wishing for a few girls in there. The little blue band is an experiment to see if those short tails might be the boys.
Or it could just be they have a short tail!!
I have one Roo who I am going to have to cull. I think the barring is very nice, a little light but his tail is so short! Only 2-3 inches stick out compared with the other roos whose stick out normally.

Question: I don't remember the others having that lemony yellow head? Is that typical?

Lovely pictures, Rustyswoman. I especially like the red background .... perfect to show their pretty coloring! Oh, and wouldn't it be a cute Xmas card photo!
