The CHICKS! (NEW PICS ADDED, pg 2!)

[ticks]

what are the first chipmunk chicks?

 

[speckledhen]

The chipmunk chicks are Welsummers and then there are brownish-red Rhode Island Reds, goldish Buff Orpingtons, a couple of Ameraucanas, one Blue Orpington, three yellow New Hampshires and three Barred Rocks.

Aww, are you keeping the NHRs? I had a couple of them and I think they were my favorites next my orpies.

 

[speckledhen]

I will be keeping two of them, but I got them because a customer was wanting one for the longest time and the feedstore just happened to have a few when I went for mealworms today. She is very happy, to say the least, LOL. She was going to buy one of my Buff Orp pullets, but I didnt hatch many and this worked out beautifully.

will the welsummers eventually get a big brown band across their beak at about 2 weeks?
