These are our Colombian Wyandotte chicks. They were hatched 2-21-09 and shipped to us from Murray McMurray Hatchery. We received them on the morning of 2-23-09. We did lose one of the 5 in the picture, she was too weak to survive the stress of shipping and died on Tuesday the 24th. The Colombian chicks are supposed to be all pullets (baby hens) but we will have to see since hatcheries sometimes make mistakes since young chicks can be hard to sex.
The Colombian chicks are very scared of us for some reason. They and the silver pencilled chicks seem to be the least outgoing of the color groups. |
