I finally have some pictures of the brood(s). We are up to 8 chicken chicks out of 10 so far. These are all backyard mixes from some of the brown egg layers. (Olive and blue eggs are due Black Friday.)
A white chick with a black spot on its head. Very curious.
I think my Barred Rock slipped an egg into the mix. lol
The first 8 curled up together.
Different species twins. The smaller one is a white quail with a dark spot. The larger one is a chicken with a dark spot. lol, twins!
Apparently, eating is exhausting. This quail chick fell asleep "in" the food dish.
This quail chick didn't quite make it into the dish. Just getting there was hard work. lol
This little quail chick spent a good 5 minutes bobbing around in the food bowl trying desperately not to fall asleep. It was almost like a toddler in their high chair fighting sleep while still trying to eat. lol!
