Fluffy's Chicks

Just yesterday Fluffy's baby chicks hatched!! We did the same thing we did with Soft except this time we traded eggs with our neighbor who has TWO roosters. After 21 days six out of the seven eggs hatched! 
(These top two photos are when they just hatched and still more were hatching.)




These photos were taken today.


Soft's Chicks


Two years ago Soft wanted to have chicks, so we traded six eggs for six eggs with our friends because they had a rooster in hopes they were fertilized.
Only two hatched and we named them Snowball and Redbeack. They were both roosters! They were always mating and they always hurt the hens when they mated, so we gave them away.

We had them when they were adults but we apparently didn't get any pictures when they were older.
