Awesome!  Did you post up on the first eggs thread?  Have you eaten any yet?   They are so delicously fresh and tender, almost no matter how they get cooked.

Yes! I had 3 sunny side up eggs this morning. Delicious buttery yolks....

I love reading everyone's posts!!! Should have mine next weekend! !!!! Soooo excited. Do they get along well with others ... hoping to get a few buff orps too. I've only had quail since April. Chickens are what I am really excited about! !!!

A friend and bought SLW chicks from a feed store. We were thrilled to find some. I have two 4 1/2 year old hens and love them. But as my chicks grew, they got UGLY! They don't even look like dotties! They are black with white tipped feathers. I have seen a few pics on this thread that look like mine, that makes me feel a little better. I know my chicks are hatchery quality, looking at the gorgeous birds on this thread almost makes me ashamed of my little ugly chicks. Are they really SLW? Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

I just wanted to update and thank everyone who responded when I was hitting the panic button over my ugly chicks. Ya'll were right, they did grow out of the uglies and have turned out to be SLW's after all! They are about 4 months old now and looking pretty!

Congrats!!! And if you ever decide you have too many hens and need a break I'll gladly take a few off your hands.

They're all absolutely beautiful!

Here is an updated picture. They sure don't look like the scraggly ugly things of a few months ago.
