I got $25 for the 5 birds on Tuesday but not sure yet what I got for the 9 and cage because we had to leave an hour and a half after the auction started to attend a community event so one of the owners of the auction said she would mail me the payment after they take 20% so I gave her a stamp...
Just thought I’d do a final update on these birds. Chicks 039, 030 and 068 was rehomed on Tuesday along with two splash hens. The other 9 were rehomed at an auction on Saturday.
The 12 on Tuesday

I still have all 12 chicks because the guy was a no show. Too busy with work and he forgot. I had taken off the leg bands so didn't realize until I was taking their pictures today that I mixed up 003 and 007. Not sure how I mixed up 003 with anyone else. Today she is still the chattiest...

They are now a month old and it is the 3rd day since they have been in their larger enclosure so they were able to gain more muscle but I didn't weigh them as it is only 13 C out today and they were already shivering a bit when I took pictures of them.
There are indeed 6 cockerels (004, 009...
Thanks! I couldn't believe it either. Since I am now 100% sure #10 is a roo and need to find all my roos a home hopefully by June 23 when I go to the states til July 3, I posted him in the Ottawa area facebook chicken group along with my loudest pullet #11. Since he is quiet (other than the...
Pictures taken today, at a month old they are too active for me to attempt the three poses. I just took whatever picture I could before they fled or ran off.
Chick 1 - No band- 76 grams - 2.7 ounces - loud but she was the last chick in the brooder while the others were transferred to another...

Happy Mother's Day! I took new pictures of the 12 fawn silver chicks (3 of which are khaki) today.
Chick 1, the runt. 45 grams and the only one that doesn't fit the 8 mm leg bands (size 5). I got the leg bands delivered from Amazon I believe Monday and each day less and less chicks were...
I have 12 fawn silver chicks that I posted pictures of here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/fawn-silver-ducking-old-english-game-bantam-chicks-hatched-around-april-24-in-gatineau-quebec-canada.1577107/#post-26798210.
If they also follow the eyeliner rule and also include the khaki...
I am ordering fawn silver OEGB chicks because the fawns and silver duckwings in the order will have darker eyeliner for female chicks. The khakis I will rehome along with the cockerel chicks. I was thinking of ordering Black breasted red because chicks can also be sexed by eyeliner. I am a...
