The Moonshiner's Chick Chat

Can we just have a moment of silence to appreciate their feet though? THIS is what a proper Pekin's feet should look like as a chick. This is what everyone should strive for.

Aren’t they amazing!

Blue and blue mottled. Your solid chicks have a very strange down pattern.

Ah but could you expect any thing different from foreigners?

No, but I have seen the airsac moving when they're about to pip. Looks so weird

I was candling a broody nest and didn't realize they were that close to hatching, so I had the egg sitting up so I could candle and *plop*, the sac disappears and the egg gets dark. Thought I killed the poor thing until it hatched
