Here are the babies now Lavender Orps...about 3 or 4 months old.
I had 3 laced Brahmas hatch  but they were so scared in the 3rd coop with the others. One died of starvation  and cold. I  had to take the other 2 out as one was  at deaths door too butr made it.
Put them back in the bathroom until i built a #4th coop for them....

By the way I ordered silver laced Brahma EGGS.
 When they hatched i got 3 chicks .AND one was a gold laced.
It was pretty surpising !!But iwanted them too so not too bad.
Just today i am  thinking   the Silver Laced  is a roo and the gold  laced a pullet. Dont know about crossing them.
Might ruin the lacing  and color but will see
Anyway they were in it 2 days and i still had 5 Light Brhama babies in the tub.!!
Took them outside to the new run ...(3rd)  and started  THEIR coop #5!!!
Midnight He just crowed first time yesterday
Need a newer photo of laced Brahmas  as the lacing doesnt show on the pick i have when thye are new. 

Today Oct 27,2012 it is almost done Need windows and doors then finished BUT instead of bringing 5 chicks back in the tub i brought the laced back in snce its just 2. They will get the new coop
BABY Light Brahmas last weekthis is a pullet.tehre are 2 pullets and 3 cockrels
Run #4 i made it 14 " tall and used chicken wire around the legs so they can run in the 8 foot run AND under the coop.The Light Brahmas  tried it out 2 days and loved it.
NOW ihave 2 sets oif eggs inthe bator.I am crazy!!November hatch? WHAT?????
I havre BBS orps again and Palomino Brahmas
Will see how they hatch
 The Palominos are from 3 hours away and picked them  up since shipped you get so few chickens
