Thanks for your feedback!

This is Cloud. Cloud is obviously my favourite. Please tell me Cloud is a pullet. I can’t have 7 roosters 😭😂😭🙏🏻

Thank you for the response! He let me pick a good portion of it out once it softened. He seems fine now 🙂

Long story short, my Belgian D’Uccle rooster Simon had a bad case of the mites in his hackle feathers. I bathed him thoroughly & treated him with Ivermectin & Elector PSP. I am no stranger to mites. Where the mites were there is all sorts of what looks to be brown dead skin peeling off...

You were right 🙂

Yup. Turned out very handsome.

Yes. One was a pullet and one was a cockerel! I guessed correctly.

Yes, it’s only on the tips.

I love this chick but it’s huge & starting to get pink in the comb. Dad was a BCM, mama could be Ameraucana or multi-gen Olive/easter Egger. It’s just about 5 weeks old. Think I’ve got a boy? Also, is this considered a cuckoo or barred chick? Sorry for the sub-par photos, the growouts...

They’re just over 6 weeks now.

Here are some updated pics! Feta’s comb is much larger than Cheddar’s, but they have different mamas with different comb types. Any guesses? I’m worried about Feta’s comb.

Agreed! 😂😍💞

Hahahaha, yes! I’ve decided all of my one Olive Egger’s babies will be named after cheeses 😍😂

Thank you! 😊

Here’s some pics! Now 4 weeks. Cheddar is first, then Feta. 💞

Me too!

You’re right about the silkie variations for sure! Really hopeful about these two.. 😳🙄

Feta & Cheddar were hatched from my silkie roo, Anton, and two Olive Egger hens - Penny & Ginger. I’m thinking pullets because of the feather patterns, but Feta (lighter chick) has a much bigger (single row) comb than Cheddar, and is generally larger. I’ve never hatched these eggs before so...

Here's my adorable 8 week old splash Silkie x splash Ameraucana pullet, Yeti! <3

Here are some eggs & mite carcasses in my Faverolles vent feathers. You’ll see them embedded in the feather shafts. Looks ‘dirty’. I caught this early before infestation.
