Chicks can be assorted colours depends on the type birds you are hatching. I have one sitting just now but hatching is a couple of weeks away. I would love some Buff Orpington birds they look stunning. may get some eggs to hatch.

So exciting,
other thing to watch out for is predators as chicks are very easy targets. We had 13 hatch last year and, as they got bigger and more inquisitive they all got picked off one by one. We suspected buzzards as no evidence was left. Covered run whenever you aren't around to monitor. Watching chicks hatch and develop is such a lovely thing. Enjoy!

Yes - chicks of any description are fascinating to watch and very rewarding to see them grow. We have ours joust outside the caravan window and it's better than TV!!!


As I look now I can see they are all sat in a huddle but the greens pile on top of which, one is having a nap in the "sun".

I used to have black and yellow chicks from my black hens.  Beautiful little balls of fluff.
