Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

Does this pic give you any idea how long my camera was missing (er, hiding in a forgotten "safe" place in my van)...

The BCM/OE chick pictures were on it!



Are we 100% sure Blackie is a boy????

If he is, he goes to auction in the morning.

Blackie and Latte - hard to imagine they hatched on the same day. Even more difficult to imagine that Cocoa and Rocha were BIGGER than Blackie!



Blackie teaching "his" chicks how to scratch. He spends hours every day peeping at them and teaching them how to scratch. It is so funny!

Yes, Blackie is 100000% boy. Hackle, saddle and sickle feathers are all there.

Yup, that's a cockerel. They are 6-8 weeks old, right?

What's a sickle feather? Never heard that term before.

Hackle - neck????

Saddle - the long white feathers near his behind?
