*Updated pics of fluffy chicks pg 13!* Starting the final countdown

Thanks guys!!

Sorry about your 3, bf.

But that's a pretty good percentage!

 

[DawnSuiter]

thanks for the vote of encouragement.

I'm not sure I feel like 7 out of the original 27 is a good percentage, but it is what it is. None appear to have deformities what-so-ever so i'm glad on that front for sure.

Oh, I forgot that 27 was the original #. I guess that isn't all that good then, huh?

Were they shipped? Were they fully developed at day 18?

GK...... My BLRW's are all between 2 and 2 1/2 months now. I am sure of 2 being boys, and 1 a girl, but 2 still unsure. ELOISEtheCHICKEN was in town last weekend and adopted the most beautiful of the boys

As well as a blue silkie i hatched from my own flock a few months ago. So the 2 i am unsure of are the youngest at about 8 weeks. Some of the wyondottes develop bigger comb and waddles and look roo-ish so i think behavior is a key to sexing them also. And yeah it is funny how 'the guys' act like its no big deal....but they really do enjoy this hobby/pet

Wendy, you need to post some more pics of yours!!

I just hope I'll get to see mine tonight.

Number 2 is working at his pip a lot!
Number one is kinda worrying me, since she isn't doing anything.

Number two also talks back to me when I chirp at him.

So cute!!

OK GK......here are a few i just took for you tonight........there is one with a severe crossbeak that is also crooked. Its a boy and i wish i could keep him because he is special. I know a woman who is an organic farmer and she said he can come live with her. She has all pullets

 

[luvmychicknkids]

Oh, Lurky, yours are so beautiful!!! I can't wait 'til mine are that big!!! Did I see a single combed one in the bunch?

Any new developments??????

 

[goatkeepers]

Aaaw thanks!!

So sorry about the crossbeaked one

Sounds like he'll have a good life though. That's great!

Thanks for taking and posting those.

Made me even more anxious.

Yes, that is a single comb. Good eye

I'm glad you both like the pics. You should see the one roo tha ELOISEtheCHICKEN took home. He has the most beautiful blue bottom

I cant wait to see all your babies. Next year i will be hatching mothergoose welsummer eggs

 

[luvmychicknkids]

One of mine turned out with a single comb too. I was kinda surprised. I know they can, but with only 4, I didn't really expect it. Looks like it is going to be one of my prettiest ones, so single comb or not she is going to breed.

Alright, fine, I think mine are all the prettiest ones. LOL I have that mommy prejudice going on.

I bet his pretty blue bottom was just wonderful. I LOVE chickie bottoms anyway.
