Did you order straight run? Or all pullets?

All pullets, but I’ve heard the WTB sexing seems to have a lower accuracy than the usual 90%. Luckily the owner isn’t too fussed and having a breeding pair would be agreeable for her

Thanks! We only ordered 2 WTB and WTG, so I hope we get lucky w accurate sexing!

I’ve decided to name them all after different birds! Today I sat out with them and started bribing with their first ever meal worms. Being in flockdown has been extremely depressing for me. Sitting out with my babies all day is legitimate therapy for me, it makes my life worth being here. This helped a bit, but I need them out being regular chickies soon

The two solid blacks are Rook and Raven

Cheek fluffs!!! This one is Magpie (LO still unnamed)

This one is Owl, also a bit fluffy faced

Far left is Robin, she’s the head investigator and busy body

The red and blue and solid blue still need names…

Such a lovely mix of colors! Like a box of crayons!

I bought 2 whiting true blues and then two whiting true green. My two greens are close to the same colors (which is OK by me!) but my true blues are amazingly different!

Gorgeous!!! I was debating the greens too, but heard there’s very little colour variation. We love flashy birds here!

Fresh pics! I sold one of the blacks

Can’t wait for them to start laying! Everyone is so gorgeous… The solid blue is getting some copper colour in around her face and neck, but she wouldn’t hold still of course!
