Oh my goodness, they are too cute! The video is great!

**sasvermont** · 03-14-2008, 07:33 PM

Impressive for sure.

I have a silly question. How do they breed? Do you need a male of the same kind? Do you know if you have a male or female in the group? I am SOOOO out of touch with knowledge about chickens...and chicks.....so any information would make me smarter than now!

You're selection of chicks is interesting...and very pleasing to the eye.

Yes, you need a rooster to breed. you nly need a Rooster of the same breed, if you want pure bred birds. But If you dont care what you get for chicks, you can have any type of rooster, and they will mate, and produce "Mutts"

Oh!!!! I am so happy I saw them! I was supposed to go out but didn't. This is so worth being home for. I am so sad, aren't I?

I love 'em all!
