You have beautiful birds. I recently bought a batch of d'uccle chicks from Ideal. 25 Blue Milles, 5 Mille fleur, 3 porcelain, and 7 columbian buff. I can't tell what's what. Any suggestions?? I was told the blues throw blue, black, and splash. Will those black look just like the regular...
Can I put alfalfa hay down in the bottom of a brooder? My chicks are hatching today. I have a rubber maid tub, but wanted to put something down besides newspaper. Hay is the only thing I have on hand.
