feemcg Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 My goodness, time is flying - just realised the youngest chicks are 2 weeks old and I hadn't taken any pics. Here are a Buff Sussex, a Wheaten Marans and a Silver Wheaten Marans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 All your little chicks are terribly photogenic Fee. If i had a houseful of chicks as pretty as you, I'd never get anything done because I'd be sitting gazing at them all day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 Em.....I do sit and watch them and play with them all day - you should see the state of my house Shona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocobo Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Aww, they are so cute... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 Thank you . They're getting a bit cheeky and were jumping out of their brooder box so put them in a dog crate today as my daughter is looking after them tomorrow when we go to London, and she would have a fit if one 'escaped' .

theherd123 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Fee they are beautiful! I am just wondering - what are you going to do with all the chicks do you have room to keep them all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 I kept 3 of my first hatch, who are now almost as big as the big girls and are out with them during the day. I sold/gave away 9. I sold 5 of the 2nd hatch last Saturday and a girl has phoned me tonight looking for some. I want to keep a Wyandotte and Orp out of that lot. I'll keep a couple of the Frizzles cos they're bantams and one of each breed of the last hatch. I think that'll give me 14/15 by the end of the summer .

helenp Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 they are georgous, how do you get any work done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Lovely pics. It must be so hard to part with them after rearing them. How do you know which are boys and girls and what do you do with the boys? Are they difficult to find homes for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
