Good luck on your hatch. I'm hoping to get one more hatch from my two hens for the year. I swear they are addictive!!

Believe it or not ya and it is really cool to watch. I was scared at first when it hatched but now that she is feathering out she is starting to get black color.

They start like this.




This is what that chick came from and what it will look like.




I have looked all over and talked to breeders and that is what they are suppose to look like. This came from a really good breeder and that is who I called when that chick hatch because I thought she had a mixed flock. She was right the chick is turning black with white spots just like these.

Oh ya they have a black stop on the back of their heads you can kind of see it in this one but she still is kind of hard to see she isn't fluffy.

Sun was shining and my chickens were enjoying their free range time. I decided get a few photos of them and share on here. I love my little Japanese Bantams. They make very good friendly pets!
