I'm only going to hold back a couple whites this year, and I need some more room.
Otherwise I would keep them. There nice little birds.

Here are some pics of my chicks. The first pic they are a few hours old. The buff is not vaulted and the blue is.

The next two pics are the same chicks (7 wks today). The buff's crest is starting to catch up. You can also see how much they change in color. Hope this helps!
