Yes, The girl in my avatar was unimpressive until she was close to 3 mos.



All of the above Catdance chicks turned out with great type.

Here is the unimpressive black one in the middle.


This is the very upright blue one.

Both amazing birds! Funny how those heartstoppers just pop out of no where. I LOVE that roo!

Thank you that helps alot! The pictures are great! I was on the fence about buying some Catdance eggs because I haven't had great luck with hatched eggs but I will definitely order them today!!!

I had a good hatch from Karen's eggs.

And I live in Connecticut, Karen in Washington if I remember right. That's a long way for the eggs to travel.

Our eggs arrived yesterday - going to get set this weekend! I'm so excited, Catdance babies are sooooo cute.

My CatDance eggs are on day 13. So far out of 24 eggs I still have 13 left and they are all moving about in there. I can't wait for the hatch! I'm in Maine, completely across the country! Maybe they'll have chicken accents

I have some older chicks (a month old) from MRobbins in my brooder. They're in that ugly stage between fuzzy chick and getting their adult feathers. Not very impressive right now! lol
