Wow really! Mine aren't even 6 wks old yet. Maybe there all large size coz they're all cockerelsI need to do this same thing w the hardware cloth... Esmeralda will be the one running around my feet!
Im looking at the size of your chicks next to your adult silkies, and Bambina is only slightly larger than your chicks
.. they seem about the right size for their age to me although the little black and little grey seem a little on the small side.
I was afraid kine would not use the "spiral" staircase I built for them...but they are! I kept putting treats here n there and encouraged em and they are going up n down it and pooping on em n everything!That’s so great!! Yay Bambina! It really is such a relief when they start going to bed on their own! Sia and Cher still won’t go to bed on their own. They really don’t like the ramp
They are both so beautiful! That little red spot the one has is just so cute!Found a second Hanabi baby among the 13 chicks. There is a six day difference in their ages. Both are feathering in with smooth feathers, which is expected.
Only indication that their mama is red is the one has some ruddiness around the eyes and the older one has a single red spot on its head. Otherwise they look like normal paints.View attachment 3030671View attachment 3030672
Adorable mini Hanabis!!Found a second Hanabi baby among the 13 chicks. There is a six day difference in their ages. Both are feathering in with smooth feathers, which is expected.

They both seem to have the cochin personality too! Both come running up whenever I open the brooder.
Omggg i need a red cochin!!They both seem to have the cochin personality too! Both come running up whenever I open the brooder.
The older one has already figured out how to jump up onto my arm. Hanabi did this exact same thing when she was a chick. She still does it when I go out to the coop, she’ll jump up on my arm for a bit of a snuggle. She’s such a sweetheart!
everyone was sleeping in the coop without her. I gave her an elevator ride and she ran right to the middle of the cuddle pile on the floor. I guess she needs to be in the middle of the pack to go up the ramp, otherwise she can't figure it out.
Awe...good thing you were aware!So poor little Bambina was crying, all alone in the run
Yea, Bambina is just so tiny.. i think they have to help "push" her up. I go out anyhow to close the coop at night, so i won't miss her
I'll only waste more time.
