Joy I am looking forward to seeing yours too.

I took way to many.
Here are some chicks that hatched Nov 1. They are growing and doing well. It was a test hatch. The blue and splash are from Charlie and the splash pullet I sent to Joy. The black pullet is out of Tubby Jr. that I sent to Harry Schafer.
They are looking great so far.

Joy this is the splash pullet that messed her beak up on the fence. It is fine now. She is out of the same hatch with those last blue pullets I sent you. She is a pretty thing and large

Splash pen i have together for someone who wants splash only. They are not laying. One is molting. She is a sib hatch to Petra, Joy.

Young black pullet saying should I or shouldn't i jump off this porch

Albert and a few hens that haven't finished molting yet. I have not decided to keep him yet. Those wattles are ghastly

Wow great pics Julie! Those babies have gotten huge since I saw them newly hatched. I tried to sneak them home with me but she was watching me.

Adorable!

Joy can't wait to see yours.

Julie,
I generally don't post but thank you very much for Tubby Jr. He was a father today. Harry

How exciting Harry. This little pullet is as big as the boys. I originally thought she was a cockerel cause she was so large at hatch. Hope he adds something you need to your flock. I thought he was a great specimen of Orp.

And Thanks Taz,, I am looking forward to seeing your again too. They were both so typey.

Hey and I guess yall won't believe in this freezing weather I have just made my honey some sugar free chocolate Ice cream with my tabletop Ice cream maker that makes it in 20 min. No sugar, no carbs. He is a happy man.

Julie - Your pictures are GREAT !!! You did a good job !! There are so many that I would love to have, I don't know where to start !! The "Chicken Love" picture is so sweet. Chester is adorable - and he looks like he is growing quickly. THe black pullets - all of them -

. Albert's wattles are pretty hideous, I agree. LOL. I love the fat splash pullet in the middle in your splash pen. I'm really happy to see that the splash girl with the hurt beak is all better now. Those black pullets are just WOW, Julie. You've done a great job.

I'm getting ready to post some pictures now. I've had to battle with Photobucket all evening !! I don't know what was wrong with it !!

 

[justuschickens59]

Well, I took too many pictures, as usual, so be prepared !! I'll post 3 separate groups. This first group is Winston, Clementine, Minerva, and The P's.

Minerva - she still isn't finished molting, but she is looking very pretty anyway.
