Hatchery banties

 
The mail order chicks are over a month old and I have not done well with them but I hope I will have a few hens to live to be adults and if I do next spring I can set them and raise my own special chicks.
I would like to draw your attention to the white chick with her back to you. She looks like she has long legged bloomers. I am calling it a her in hopes that will be what she is. Posted by Picasa

Well I have to ask, "How many do you have left?"

you know sister...mail order chicks might be about the same as
mail order bride? some of those
unions just don't last.

I wish I could take the 12 game chicks I have to Clayton. They are driving me crazy...it is sit, sit,
sit...they even try to attack me
when I try to get them off the nest. A full Game is a big chicken and they are mean.

Clayton deserves them! His chickens were always so MEAN!

The chicks do look so sweet. The white one with feathered legs must surely be a Pekin Bantam
