Hi, guys. These are my two week old. I'm actually getting ready to change them into a cleaner. I just cleaned here. Hey, chill. See, we got feathers, boots. We got feathers that are coming in.
I think that that might be a silver laced Orpington or a chocolate silver laced.
Babies. Oh good lord. There you can see everybody's got their feathers coming in. I'm trying to separate my babies now by big babies to little babies. As you can see, I got to go grab that baby who just fell.
Hold on. I'll take you with me. Here, baby. Oh, there we go. See the wings? Not sure. I think this might be just the barnyard mix. I'm breeding Turkens, so I get some really interesting colors because I'm actually breeding them for color. Okay, I'm going to pull these babies out, and then I'll come back when I go to the next brooder.
All right. This is my second level, a baby. There's 25 in here. You can see I've got some possible Houdans. There's some Turkens. I've got a couple death layers. That is a Cemani. Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick. Yeah. an Appenzeller. There's a little silkie. And like I said, I think these guys are what, they're even 3 or 4 weeks old.
But there's 25. They're 3 or 4 weeks old. And let me add a little bit more on this one. Now that these guys are chilled out. Hey, baby. Hey, baby. These guys are so pretty. These are my big standard chickens. I'm kind of trying to separate them by size as they grow, because you can put it more in with the little ones, and you have less problems of the little ones squashing each other.
That is a Deathlayer, baby. Right there. Right there. I'm trying to figure out how to keep track of all my babies, because in the last two hatches, I hatched out 140 babies each time. And I have a bunch of breeds. So, if you have any ideas on that, let me know.
All right. This is my third brooder full, and there's actually 30. And I had a whole bunch more, so I had to split them up a little bit more. But you can see that right? There is a I think that's an Orpington, death layer. And then you can see my Turken babies. But I went ahead and split.
Now I've got 30 in all of them. And another week or two I will actually split these again because 30.
I will actually split these up because 30 as they grow is too many. But this is just things that we've learned as we've gone on. Hopefully it kind of looks like I've got several Mottled Houdans in these groupings. Including two older ones. So hopefully I can get my Houdon project off the ground.
Okay. And here is my last group of babies. As you can see, I've got a lot of Turken babies, and I've been trying to breathe in Cuckoo. I'm not sure what color this baby is. I'm waiting for is feathers to come in so I can figure it out. That's the fun part about getting new babies, is you have to figure out what they look like.
Sometimes that's why I do that video. So it's not that. Not so much for you guys as for me. I can go back and look and I can see and tell how the babies grow, what they look like makes it a lot easier for me to tell. And I also makes it easier for me to sex them if I can actually
