Okay so... I got eggs from my neighbour in February. They were supposed to be duck eggs.
They were not. They hatched a week early. They are chickens!
I now have 5 chicks. I've had chickens once before (also by accident) and I am learning as I go. They are wonderful chicks!! I love them so much. It is very difficult to get photos because they keep climbing on top of me all of the time. But I figured since they turned 6 weeks old today that I would post here and try to see what I have!
I was told the roo was an Orpington and the hens were Western Rustic, which... is odd, considering my chicks are all black and gray.
The first one to hatch was Fuzzyfoot. He is the only one with feathered legs and hatched from a brown speckled egg. He also started crowing this week!
The others dont have names yet, but all hatched from blue eggs. They havent started crowing or anything so time will tell on that.
Thank you!!! Here are my babies!!
