Thanks, bud. How are yours getting along?

They all seem to be healthy and are finding their position in the pecking order without too much fighting. Lots of raised heckles and posturing but nobody is getting injured.

I have found a lot of loose feathers lining the nesting boxes and have 2 hens with bare bellies. For now everyone is roosting up high so they’re not committing to being broody but I feel like they are starting to feel the urge.

I need to get some updated pictures but haven’t had much time. Attached are pictures I stole from my wife’s Facebook account. These are the 2 that hatched in the toaster oven hatch along Blue is the Dam unsure about the Sire.

Both are pretty. Does Blue have feathered legs?

I took a couple quick snapshots of my Easter hatch birds when I went out for chicken chores before work today.

Very nice looking group.

I've started collecting eggs for another hatch from Esther (EE) for OEs and from the 3 BRs for Midnight Majesty's.
