been keeping up on the reading just not posting....

the last week has been rough here- we ended up having to put our Irish Setter- Cassie down, we thought we were making progress in the positive direction with her but not so much I guess

so not only are we dealing with the loss we are trying to help Ellie-our Aussie pup deal with it too.

moved all the babies out to the big garage so no babies in the kitchen now. Looks like we have 2 Andalusian pullets that are about 8 weeks old, one is black and the other is splash that DD won't need if anyone is interested. We are hoping the next 2 groups will have a couple of blue pullets that DD can pick for her 4-H project- still have to wait and watch them for a couple more weeks.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Thanks

Ok. Here are my chick pictures. I had 3 eggs due to hatch and they all did. The white (really a splash) on is SUPER puffy. It's bantam cochin/silkie and it looks like it has a beard and muffs, but no puff on the head. The black and white one has the puff on the head and no visible beard/muffs. Both have feathered legs and the fifth toe. Then there's the turken. Which I am convinced is Iowa blue and is a cockerel. All my Iowa Blue mixes that hatch out this reddish color turn out to be roos. I guess time will tell. It is a standard but came out of a pullet (bantam sized) egg. It didn't have much room to grow in that tiny egg. Hopefully it will catch up and be normal size. I thought I was setting eggs from just bantam cochin hens. oops.
