I have to agree. That chick is fabulously captured in the photo.
I silently subscribe to this thread to learn, and admire, but that beautiful little babe prompted me to speak up today.
Good job Jeremy !

Quote: I (personally) think that chicks just seem to do almost better with a hen - seem healthier for some reason. These chicks are housed in a nice grassy dog kennel. Good size. It is hilarious to watch momma when she has everyone out and they are all running around. These chicks are beautiful. I am amazed at their size, they are huge. I added 4 sexlinks to the mix...for my egg laying pen (household eggs). Glad mom can't count. But the sexllinks are a good size bird....they are about 2/3rds the size of the orp babies. All are doing great. Broodies are the best.

Lovely babies! Can't wait to see those blues all grown up, they're going to be really nice.
