Ok, I have chick pics but not the ones i had intended on sharing. I just had to share these first. Soo...my DD and I were in the basement yesterday and she asked to play with the chicks....."Sure" I said......She sure has a good imagination! How's that for chicken saddles! The little lemon is one of the chicks in question. She or He has a very long tail but now with that comb....I have no idea if pullet or cockeral. What do ya think? I think the chocolate is a pullet, but Im not sure on that either.

10 Month Mark?! The parents won't be 10 months until March...Geez, what doom is waiting at my door? No, don't tell me. I don't want to know.

I'd have to be on RX meds.

Too funny! Giddee Up! Don't know about gender, but they sure are cute. Top one looks like a boy, bottom like a girl. (So it's probably the opposite

)

What is shafting?

some birds require it, on some birds a defect
