Four chicks - good to hear Kaz.

 

I thought you would only get cinnamons if Dad was split. Mum has no bairing on it I thought.

Yes...but these days cinnamon pops up everywhere so I just thought it would happen here too. I should get some nice green chicks out of this lot...I hope :lol:

Green .......

 

:lol:

 

At least they are healthy

As you will learn with show breeding Neat....GREEN IS GOOD especially if they have the FEATURES you need :huh:

This might be a silly question Kaz but how can you tell they are not cinnamons when they are only days old??

No question is silly on here Jenene :D

If they were cinnamons they would show plum eyes. Their eyes are black so they arent cinnamons.

Here's the four chicks so far. Five other eggs fertile and one not.

Oh my. Imagine the look on Troopers face when she sees NINE open begging mouths to feed :fear

Teehee.......a little flock of baldies :fear :D

Awwwww .....

Can't wait to see them feather up :D

I know the green is better I just can't come to terms with it yet :fear

Fifth chick hatched through the night...well, almost hatched. It rear end never made it out of the shell. I found it dead half out of its shell this morning.

Sorry Kaz :( Maybe one of the ones that wasn't meant to make it :angel1:

It's always sad :D when a chick dies but trying to look on the bright side, 8 is a little easier than 9 for Trooper, and it the long run the remaining chicks may benefit. Please don't think I'm sick but its a little like organ donation its not quite so bad (still bad) when others may benefit.

It's that in bad taste?

Hope I haven't offended anyone!
