[BlueBirdChick]

But they will be even more beautiful Congrats again....

Im thrilled that you're thrilled! The blues can be anywhere from light lavender to dark, nearly black. Thats why I love them so much, there is so much variety even in the same color.

Momma did a great job (both Mommas!).

Thanks, Halo! I figured that was the case, just wanted to check! We've been outside watching them all evening. Sunshine does peck them on the head on occasion - is that okay? It doesn't seem to be hurting them - one did yelp at one point, though. Can they learn to use a nipple waterer (like for rabbits) at this point?

Ive never used a broody, but I imagine they teach their little chicklets everything they need to know. I dont know why they couldnt learn to use any watering system you have, as long as mommie shows them what to do.

Can we get some updated pics of Sunshine with her chicks now? Hope everyone is doing well...
