Ok I need more coffee if I'm going to make sense of this website lol.

So do you agree that I have BCM & CCL and that they're all females based on their coloring and features?

If that is the mix they used, absolutely! When you go to the chicken genetics calculator at the top by the pictures you can click, pick by color, that way you can just choose by the color of your roo and the color of your hen to see what their offering will look like.

Grow out coop/run is ready! The littles will be next door until they're close to the same size as the bigs. I'll move them in either this weekend or next. They're almost fully feathered.

As I was switching out the water in the brooder, I noticed my most feather footed little girl (one of the blue copper marans) had some blood on our foot. I took her out and cleaned it and it's looks like a feather maybe got caught or something. No serious injury.

@wrathsfarm and @Auntiejessi3 I know you guys have feather footed chickens. Is this normal? I've never had one with so much fluff on their feet.

What a pretty bird! I'm sorry your baby has an ouwie. I hope she'll be ok.
