Here's my chicks!

Recommended Posts

Finally got round to uploading pics of my chicks.

The first is of Poppet, the lonely little Lavender Araucana chick I had to help out at the final stage. Poppet couldn't quite flip the egg top off. :roll: But had managed to cut round the egg no problem.

The next photo is of Poppet and friends taken on Thursday at 1week old. I went & got Poppet 2 friends from Creag Mhor Poultry after 2 days. They were hatched the same day as Poppet & are definite Pullets. The Goldline is called Anneka (after Anneka Rice) & The Black Rock is called Heli (after Helicopter). They are beautiful & Poppet is just starting to a hairdo now - looks a bit like a cone head! :lol:

I think Poppet has the start of a mohican & Heli the black rock is so greedy. Her tiny crop is always bulging at night. They jump on Teddy's head waiting to be picked up for cuddles - it's so funny & they now do the chicken dance & dustbathe in the shavings! :lol:

 

Think this will be my last hatch of the year - next hatching will be in the Spring now - probably with the pekins & my frizzle cockerel - Although Araucana chicks are probably the cutest chicks I've seen so far - got a soft spot for Cochins too.
