Meet Melba – one of the biggest chicks we’ve got, who is officially a month old. She has great coloring – black with white stripes making her look black/white and grey. Some of our favorite ladies are named Melba! Melba’s Valentines Day Photos @ Six Weeks Old

Big Bird was an odd clucker in the pen when we picked the chicks up. She had a downy orange/rust colored top (crown) and was in with the “chipmunk” looking chicks. We weren’t sure what she was, but we love the odd – unique – and special, so we were…
