NOT Southern, Ca. :)
Congratulations on all the new baby chicks!!!! I love the pictures. Can you get one of the size difference between the bantam and the others? I have never seen a bantam chick before.

We now have 10 chicks and another one pipped...and in about 4 days the ducks should be hatching. :fl

Will work on a pic of the bantam next to the other chicks for you, gina.

We just had chick number 12 hatch, and it was another Welsummer! I'm thinking I'll keep the Welsummer chicks (only 2 so far) and the Splash Langshan chick. The rest of the chicks will be sold in a couple weeks.

:D

Just, you slay me! I have Wellies! The two Wellie chicks that just hatched are from my own small flock :gig I have one roo and 6 hens. IF I had to choose one breed of chickens to keep - it would be the Welsummers!

I cannot imagine NOT having Welsummers now that I've had them. :D

I've been trying to tell myself it won't kill me to only keep 3 chicken breeds - instead of 15....but I just cannot make that leap...ya know? It's like....you've already got them, they each have their own endearments....and they're heritage breeds, so not just chickens....

At least, that's my rationale..... :hide
