Adorable! :jumpy

Hope you get that critter whatever it is. Makes you wonder what all those cute little faces are thinking! 😂

Yes, interesting. Cutie that it is! I thought it was a bit dark for splash. I'm curious to watch it grow! I thought I had a hen laying soft shell eggs, kept finding egg goo in the nest. Came in one day to find a HUGE rat snake all curled up in the nest box. He could not quite swallow the eggs...

All are cuties! :love Curious. In the last pic, the chick to the left, standing, looking at the camera...it's a splash? Isn't it's color a bit different? Hope you get that egg thief! Any suspicions?

Great pictures! They are so precious! :jumpy

Look at all those fluffy booties! :love

I have a 9yr old hen named Dixie. She doesn't get around all that good so sometimes she gets to come inside the house. She is so easy to handle and has her own little apartment (large bin). She was always a great broody and raised lots of chicks. Never gave me any slack about handling them...

Yesterday was your birthday? Happy happy birthday to you and the baby! :ya 🎉

Awwww :love :jumpy Sometimes I wish they could stay little just a tab bit longer!

Little poof ball! :love

Glad you caught it quickly. I think that's key. I'm one of those worryers too!

I laugh because I do stuff like that all the time. :D

That's good! The ointment may have felt soothing. Or She was probably thinking "get away from me you crazy human, no more weird stuff please!" 🤣 🤭 Our land is partially wooded, so oh yes, know all about the mosquitos and the biting flies too!

I would use something like a saline eye wash to wash it out good. Then try to work a bit of the ointment under the bottom lid. She will obviously close her eye when you try to do this and that will smear it inside. You might could use a q-tip if you are really careful. A helper could be good...

Sorry Zinnia is having a problem. Do you think it possible she has an eye (cornea) infection? You could try Terramycin Eye Ointment or plain Neosporin in the eyes 2 times per day for a few days to see if it helps. There are many things that can cause gray/foggy eyes in chickens but bacterial...

Would be good to be able to talk to someone who has hatched maybe 100 or so splash chicks over time. Probably wouldn't matter what breed??

Interesting observation. Makes me wonder too. I have not seen enough splash patterned birds to know. I'm sure you will continue to watch this. Please let us know how this goes.

Wow! 😍 :ya:ya:ya

It's got to be difficult to handle so much cuteness in person. :love

Awww, Mama and her babies! :love
