I have to share a pic of mine too. I'm pretty happy about this 100% hatch on shipped eggs. (minus the 3 lavendars, they came from my flock)
I'm gonna need a bigger brooder quick!

Awww, cutie pies!! Yes, I just finished my 'growing on' brooder, 3ft x 6ft x 24 inches tall and even this morning my little gymnasts were trying to fly out!! I have just changed them over to Flock Raiser mash and my goodness, they are loving it. Me too actually as there is far less waste!

Will give them a day(maybe) to get stronger and moving around more. Tho 1 or 2 have been briefly outside the nest witnessed by a tiny turd on the ramp and one I saw come out with mama(when I was able to confirm that beautiful black head). She was very thirsty and she must have come out later to drop the bomb I found on my next check, almost put my hand down on it GAK. Her nest is clean as a whistle, she must have eaten all the shells except the last one that hatched this morn and I grabbed while it was still wet, it was marked 'Last-Day2' (I had snuck one more in there- sure glad I did!!)

Gorgeous!! Love that little black noggin!!! Of course I am quite partial to one of the BCM x CCL roos that I just hatched out. Seems very bright (for a rooster) and curious and sweet. What do you normally do with your roosters?

You all get CUTIES

Cockerels are in the freezer by 16 weeks.

Just interesting......Girlie has an odd brown patch....but no white spot!
Granted my Marans are not SQ, one pullet that hatched last spring may be a mix(actually the broody in this case)as she has some almost partridge feathering, tho the cock looks pretty pure.
