BF Silver x Fawn Chicks Hatched

Recommended Posts

Here's the first pic of the newly hatched chicks from my BF Pied Silver Male x Fawn Hen

There was 7 eggs 6 have hatched, the 7th has also hatched since taking the attached pic.

Really looking forward to seeing what happens with these.

Thanks Trevor.

A quick update, only 5 surviving now.

Not sure on the colours yet, but hopeful for at least one silver, the rest look to be normals, and not a cream or fawn in sight now.

Should have a much better idea next week on the colour, and even better I have a week off comming up, which is when they should fledge.

This pic was taken yesterday, they are starting to show feathers, and are starting to grow very quickly now, but a very dark looking nest now colour wise.

Might get some nice BF normals if I'm lucky.
