New chicken Babies!!*more pics post #7*

[critter crazy]

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?

you can easily tell, first off by how many days it has been incubated, chicks take 21 days to hatch. The other way to tell is the blood. a normal fully mature chick wont have any blood when it hatches.

What type of chicken is the mother?

The momma is a Delaware hen

Do you keep all your babies?

Yes

What do you do when they get older?

et eggs from them

Are they shown?

No I dont show my birds, they arent Show Quality

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.

I know alot of people that show their birds, and they do have lots of fun!

Aw, they are so pretty and cute. i just love the color of the ones that are light yellowy and then they have a black stripe going out from the tip of their eyes. that is such a cool marking! It's so great to see that the chickens are doing well
