You have beautiful birds. I recently bought a batch of d'uccle chicks from Ideal. 25 Blue Milles, 5 Mille fleur, 3 porcelain, and 7 columbian buff. I can't tell what's what. Any suggestions?? I was told the blues throw blue, black, and splash. Will those black look just like the regular...

I have some puppy pads. Didn't know I could use those. Thanks!

What can I put down on the bottom of a rubbermaid tub for chicks just coming out of the incubator? Can I use alfalfa hay in there?

Can I put alfalfa hay down in the bottom of a brooder? My chicks are hatching today. I have a rubber maid tub, but wanted to put something down besides newspaper. Hay is the only thing I have on hand.
