Light Sussex at 4 weeks

My welsummer boys at 4 weeks

Thank you. He’s a welsummer!

Babies now 5 weeks old

Added a copper maran and bason white to the flock last weekend

Cool likely one of each then! I have two 2 week old welsummers both with the eyeliner and dark v stripe but one is possibly developing a slightly pink comb… Will monitor!

I think both boys… how are they looking now?

2 weeks old. The welsummers and light Sussex growing rapidly and the others not far behind. Some short flights already taking place. Another trip outside yesterday but raining today so indoors.

1 week (7-9 days old) first trip outside with mama hen. Two aunty hens came close and have learned not to!

4-6 days old. The chicks all have tail feathers and are sprouting wings except the Buff Orpington’s who have no tail feathers yet. The yellow BO has grown bigger and stands taller and louder. Maybe a Roo. The gingery spotty BO is squatter and quieter, hopefully a pullet.

Day 22. Broody is off the nest. Last egg failed. Six lovely happy chicks.

Chick 2. Buff Orpington. Ginger stripe on back of head. Wing feathers day 1. M/F/impossible to tell?!
