I currently have five chicks. All five eggs hatching at least four days after they were due. So don't throw them out too soon!

And also One question... Is this mauve reccessive pied a male of female?

Very cute- and exciting to have red eyes!!

Rec pied looks male-ish......

Love the next pair to go down- the fallow and spangle, should be very pretty babies

Cool pictures Meg...they all look great

great pictures, I bet those leaves didn't last long

 

I like the fallow hen and of cause the spangle.

The first bub is a normal blue, the second a YF2 recessive pied and three and four are albino and five is still too small to tell

Just an update on my chicks. All five are going great! The mother looks as if she just about ready to lay again. Is that going ot be okay? The oldest is 15days the youngest 8days

 

The oldest-normal blue
