These are Renies babies enjoying the outside for the first time.

One of the blue babies found a plastic band I use on the waterers to secure them to them wall, he slid it over his body and walked around with it on him like it was a piece of jewelery LOL It was pretty funny.

I helped him out of the thing and instructed him to "behave!"

Looks like he's wearing a doctorial stole. Maybe majored in "trouble "?

awwww..those are some beautiful baby's

Thank you! I bet Im gonna find a few good keepers in this batch. There are some that are just soo big already!

That is pretty funny..weird that he slipped onto the whole body

LOL

It was even funnier watching him stut around with it. The other chicks would peck at it when he walked by them. I should have took a video of it.

Beautiful...are these from Louise?

I showed these picx April 7th when they were 9 days ols and they weighed Over 2 oz then. They have really grown in the last few days. I weighed one tonite and it is up to 3.9 oz. I bet they will be a lb by four weeks. Two of these which are a splash over blue cross are feathering in with lighter blue feathering looks like. This has been so interesting seeing what colors i get from these different Colors of Cocks over the different color. I did hatch a blue today out of Blue over splash. Will be interesting to see how the blue turns out. As you might or might not recall my Crossing of a lighter blue Cock over a splash hen resulted in darker blues with one of a really good blue color and some splash that are splashed heavy and looks like it will be black splashing.
