Alert - Alert!! My first fluffy post - baby chick photos!
The parents are a splash fluffy rooster and a blue B-line carrier-hen (from alicefelldown with her info copied from PM so I won't mess up the info):
"She is an F1 cross, or a smooth carrier for the hookless gene. Her chicks will be 50% fluffy, and 50% smooth carriers. She is from my B line, so she is about as unrelated as you can get to the fluffy rooster I sent. He is a result from my A line F1 hens mating with the Original Splash Fluffy rooster."

and photos of their first 5 chicks taken this morning (first one is the oldest, ages vary since I hatched every few days). So far they all look regular-feathered to me (carriers). I am toe-punching the left-foot, left-web so we can tell these apart from the future chicks now that we added 2 splash Paul Smith hens to the pen.





and the latest 3 chicks born 2 days ago (can't tell yet if any fluffies, but they sure are CUTE!!)
