Out of my last 3 hatches I said I wouldn't keep any of the chicks, but this little girl is so pretty I couldn't let her go. It is hard to see in the picture, but her feathers are tan and blue barred. Not sure what she'll look like when she's all grown up.

Not sure how will she turn out later, but she is going to be beautiful for sure.Out of my last 3 hatches I said I wouldn't keep any of the chicks, but this little girl is so pretty I couldn't let her go.

Oooooo I think I have her cockerel twin!!!Out of my last 3 hatches I said I wouldn't keep any of the chicks, but this little girl is so pretty I couldn't let her go. It is hard to see in the picture, but her feathers are tan and blue barred. Not sure what she'll look like when she's all grown up.
I have a question. Once I finish the coop, I'll be moving the girls in together, and leaving the three boys in the tractor until everyone grows up a bit and gets over their hormones. Though it's plenty warm right now (oddly), January and February will likely be quite chilly. The tractor is a bit more open to elements (on purpose, for ventilation), and there is no enclosed structure inside for very cold weather and wind. They've all done ok so far on cold nights with body heat, but with just three boys there in the future, I think I'll need to provide more shelter with the reduced numbers (esp. given their nakedness/fewer feathers). What do you guys think of putting one of these doghouses inside the tractor for them to retreat into on cold nights? (Saw it at Tractor Supply today.) Other thoughts? Just trying to plan ahead...
