Five l'il society chicks, at least one of which is crested! :-D Pardon their poopy nest box. Five chicks plus two weeks equals a grungy box. I'll take care of it the moment they leave the nest. :-) Three are typical fawn pied, and the others are a darker fawn pied color.
Kenny (chocolate pied) and Dolly (very light fawn pied) are currently incubating 4 eggs.
My top trio, which I've named Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato (LOL!) are sitting on 5 eggs. I think both hens are laying, as fast as the eggs appeared. This could be a BIIIIG clutch if they're all fertile! All three of them are fawn pied.
My bottom trio, Snickers, Twix, and KitKat (all chocolate pied) have started mating again and working on their nest. Their two youngsters will be weaned within the next few days. :-) I believe their fawn pied youngster is a male. If so, I'll be keeping him to go with Lucy and Ethel, my two fawn pied "single" ladies. As you might can guess, if he's a male, I'll be naming him Ricky. ;-)
Hello there! Haven't been over to visit in awhile, but I see you (and the birdies) have been very busy! Lovin' these sweet babies...and a crested one! Yay! Great to read all the good news! :)
