The Moonshiner's Chick Chat

Yes. Like I said, I know for certain I have a pair. The other one isn't 100% one way or another. Coloring isn't sexable, and it has a smaller comb than the male but redder wattles than the female.

Doesn't really matter since I'm keeping them all no mater the sex though. I just like to show them off.

They are beautiful! Where did you get them from?
Is it just the lighting, or do they all have different colored legs?

So you have 3 of the ketwa chickens?

The white one has different legs. The pair I'm pretty sure have the same or similar colored legs.

I got them from Feather Lover Farms, but it was a big risk considering what I read about after placing the order. Without knowledge that their customer practices get better, I'm almost certainly not buying from them again because I don't want to go through months of worry again

Yep. Ordered 4, lost one the day after arrival (it was runty and had twisted toes so I'm not too bummed). Got a male belifeilder too as a packing peanut

My 4 chicks are already growing. They have little wing feathers coming in, and two of them are starting to get tail feathers.

What about that one hen? Didn't she just hatch out some? I think she was out of that barred mottled one?

Are we not counting the rat birds? How are they doing?

That defective one made her own babies.

See.

Ya I did have that one hatch 3 but I'm still counting that as a fluke so...

Rattlings are good. I did lose a few the first couple days but all has been well since. They're starting to look like real life quail now just mini versions

 

[The Moonshiner]

Have around 20 chicks so far in the hatcher.

If you like I can send you few eggs. I'll make sure to pick out hens only
