Thank you all. The eggs are RIR from my neighbors. After these hatch I have some marans, barnevelders, and welsummer eggs to go in.

HIJACK!
Malia- you aren't originally from Birmingham, are you? I had a childhood friend named Malia that I haven't seen or heard of in decades. I have very fond memories of her.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled topic...

What kind of chick is the polka dotted one? It looks like chocolate chips!

 

[malia]

Sorry, I'm not from Birmingham. I'm pretty sure that the chick is a gray silkie though the partidge one's are very similar.
