Sweet babies. It never gets old. Best thing to see in the morning.

Great photos everybody. I've been trying to find out where a shipped bird is this morning. USPS doesn't seem to know ! Not good for my blood pressure !

I hate that Vickie, hope they get there soon..thank goodness you threw the tomaoes in there..

Don those are the best bantam orps ..Its always such a treat when Roger posts pictures of his..

Ahhh...the red orps have blonde down. How incredibly cute! Congratulations!

Yes deek, but you wouldn't think so. They're not red as chicks like a RIR. They look just like a Jubilee until the feathers come in. Though, there is a reddish tint to the down. Here's how my hen looked when she was 5 weeks old.

Here is one of my darkest blue pullets, very bad quality pic but maybe you can get the idea of her shape, she is a beauty. Julie & Alton, beautiful chicks !!!!!

 

[Phantom_Rooster]

It has very nice shape. Beautiful.

Love her tail Roger. Very good type.
Alton your reds are so pretty. So glad there are reds in the US

That's such a cute age. Still babies, but juvenile pushing forward.
