I just went and peeked in and there is now 7 chicks, so we are halfway there. I dont want to take any pics right now, cause it is rainy and damp, dont want the babies to catch a chill. Will post more pics when I can!
can't live without them!!

Cute!I just fed a bunch of baby ducks and goslings yesterday. They were so cute! What type of chickens are they?
Is that blood on the mom?

Well, aren't they just the cutest little guys!!
Q: Are they all from the same parents, being all different colors like that? Also, is the blood on the hen from the eggs when they hatch? I dont know enough about baby chicks yet, but still looking to know more!

They are all mixed breeds. They are from myown flock which consists of 3 roosters, and 13 hens, so it will be neat to see what they look like as they get older.Originally Posted by Blue_Frog

The blood is from the hen, she went out at one point while I was checking on the babies, and got into a scuffle with one of the other hens. But I cleaned her up, and put a medicated spray on her booboo.
But yes when chicks hatch occasionally there is some blood involved, but mostly that is from them trying to hatch too early.

Poor mom. Hopefully she won't get into anymore scuffles. I know this may sound like a dumb question, but how does one know when a chick hatches early?
What type of chicken is the mother? Do you keep all your babies? What do you do when they get older? Are they shown? I'd like to show chickens one day, but that won't be for a long long time as I know nothing about them. I'd like to have my children involved in 4H. I think it would be fun.
