While Jed and I were looking at the Polish chicks he mentioned that they had 80's style hairdos... I was actually thinking the same thing since I had seen a cover of a Depeche Mode cd earlier that day. =) We'll start getting worried when we start getting chickens with Flock of Seagulls style hairdos.
All in all, the baby chicks are really taking off. The giants are adorable looking as they lumber about with the others. The Sumatras are interesting looking as they are more of a heritage jungle fowl since they are a bit more ... not domestic.. (good thing I majored in English) and the Buttercups are really catching our fancy. They have very neat markings and their (surprise) buttercup combs are interesting looking. We'll see about getting another batch of Dorkings next year just to make sure that we can maintain that breed. We'll keep the good meat and egg layers of this group but we might also look into some darker egg layers.. or just get some keats next year for some more guinea hens.
The little ones are really growing so we're going to put them in with the big birds this weekend and see how they do. We might find that the uppity chicks will have their egos cut to size.
