The rolled oats would add some insulation for them as well. Link to comment

Should be no problem if Mum has chicks of her own same age, except when you want to know which chick belongs to whom. l.o.l. Will you be able to tell as they feather up? Sorry robyn missed this one. im assuming Blues, greens and opaline will come from box three sky hen Normal X olive opaline/blue cock. box 2 is df splangle yellow hen X Olive sf spangle/blue cock So hope to get some df & sf splangles hopefully some olive mabe blue of some description. Either way I'm keen to see the results. Link to comment

There is a smattering of yellow on feather ends. Mother is Df spangle yellow and father is Olive body with yellow Sf spangle/Blue,opaline. No idea yet what her colour is split to This chick has managed to get back into the nest box and hasn't re emerged as yet. Hens in both box 2 and 3 are busily removing the seed from nest boxes. I guess they want the clutch out of nest boxes so they can get down to round 2. box 1 has 4 chicks 2 will be pied and 2 will be grey normal Link to comment

Mine pop in and out of nest box for a few days but generally I gauge them as fully fledged once they can perch instead of hiding in the corners of cage. l.o.l. Link to comment
