The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

[TheTwoRoos]

Anyway,besides the bad stuff,all the other chicks are growing and doing great.Will be getting three more chicks.Also will be taking our ducks kitty pool away,they spend their time in our pond anyways.

Here the newest ones are.The Buff in the back is from long ago.The newest buff drowned.

Pretty for sure this is a cockerel.Everything about him says male,have raised many roos.

This is a pullet I think.I think this is the silver grey dorking mix chick.She acts just like her and has likes of different patters .
Couldn’t get pictures of the other one.

Very cute!
How many toes does the pullet have?

 

[TheTwoRoos]

She had four

 

[ronott1]

She had four

Dorkings have 5 toes but the gene for that does not always get inherited

 

[TheTwoRoos]

Will see if her mother has five.If the mom isn’t a dorking what might she be than?She is a small girl.

 

[ronott1]

Dorkings are not particularly small. They are a dual purpose meat breed.

Did you post a picture of her?

 

[TheTwoRoos]

I’d say her average size is between a bantam and a normal large fowl.She is smaller than my Rhode Island Reds,and bigger than my Cochins,so she’s small but I wouldn’t consider her bantam size nor large fowl size.

Cochins chicks have been reared off and now tried joining with the others but they won’t allow.

It will likely take some time.

The younger chicks keep attacking the poor Cochins:
