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.
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.
