So these were sold to me by tractor supply as spitzhaubens. Clearly the only viable candidate is Esther there on the far left. The others have cute personalities but are most likely, pardon my candor, mutts???? I'm pretty sure the lighter colored non-Spitz is a non-pullet!
Those are great pictures! The towel backdrop is a nice touch, too!
Are you able to tell if these are female at this stage?
My Esther looks spot on like yours and I'm hoping that she's an Esther not an Esteban.
Here are a couple of updated pictures. So fun watching that hairdo! Very sweet girl (fingers crossed...)
Here are the others (these pics are a little over a week old)
The other gray one that was in the original picture didn't make it sadly. She just didn't grow and finally became very weak...
So here is another shot of the 4 that I bought from Tractor Supply ostensibly as Spitzs. I see the resemblance in one for sure, maybe two. The two buff colored ones tho? They have the best personalities! Any guesses? BTW Anna is the only one who has the mohawk.
Thank you all for the help! I ended up with 4 chicks, two that are the solid buff color and two that look more like the internet images of Spitz chicks. Interestingly enough, only one of the 4 has blue legs. Can't wait to see how they all turn out! You guys are awesome. I love this site!
Hi everyone! Just yesterday I got two chicks (supposedly pullets) so my broody Jersey Black Giant Hazel could foster them. Mine are super young I think; dont have their wing feathers in yet (that's a thing, right?). I've been researching about the breed and mainly see babies that look like they...
