The Chicks are now 13 weeks old, and they are soooo much like their parents - it's easy to see who belongs to which Mum.
Firstly, here's a pic of their Dad, Roo (I had to purple spray his comb, it's not normally that colour!)
Then we have Mrs Roo, who is also a Sasso....
And then the two Welsh Black (Australorp Indian Game) ladies, Rose and Ruby. One of them produces only black girls, the other produces black, or black/brown. We don't know which produces which.
And now, here are the Baby Photos. They are all just quick snaps, as they are a busy little flock and they don't stand still long enough to frame a proper picture.

| Roo x Mrs Roo Sasso cockerel; this one is very compact |

| Another Roo x Mrs Roo cockerel, definitely Daddy's Boy |

 |
| Another Roo x Rose/Ruby lad. This one has more brown | |
|
 |
| Another Roo x Rose/Ruby, all are stunning in real life |
 |
| Both these pullets are Roo x Rose/Ruby on the left (one of them throws a high proportion of brown dominated babies) |
|
 |
| Not a great photo, but you can see the game bird stance these boys have |
 |
| Rose/Ruby girl again - she's such a gorgeous looking thing |
 |
| Roo x Welsh Black pullets |

| Roo x Mrs Roo Sasso pullet. She'll darken and end up the spitting image of her Mum |

I took loads of photos but I didn't manage to capture all the colour variations! Never mind.
