They are so cute! I love them[COLOR=333333]LOVE these two! My icelynn babies are doing good, and their wing feathers growing in do look silkied! Gave them a little bath to clean off the food they rolled in >P Starting them early! Any opinions? Their toes are still pink tipped, but i'm hoping it darkens with age. They are only a week old.[/COLOR]
Tried it. :/ splash broody will get off her nest and chase me around the yard clucking continuously til I return them to her nest. She has pulled feathers from my white one just because it. Ugh its like my splash can count eggs.
The non bearded is very red faced, while the bearded has no red at all and no comb or wattle development yet. As for streamers, they would only just be starting to grow in (and the non bearded does seem to be growing some in). I can't get any pics right now because I'm not at home.
Quote: No, they can't count eggs.However, they will chase you around if you mess with them or disturb them. I have one idiot broody that thinks I am the only threat to her chicks, and will go after me even when her chick is screaming because its being pecked on by other chickens. She is in a cage by herself with the chick right now, that chick is important to me (first chick from special pair). I think your hen would have gone back on the nest at about the same time even if you didn't return the eggs. I would steal the eggs at night when she can't see you - put a towel over her head and wear leather gloves if she pecks. Then set the white one up with the eggs in her own little enclosure, so they can both be happy.
Gave Icelynn a little bath and removed her sutures from my pitiful attempt at surgery LOL It's all healed and looks great
