This is the first video in a series as I watch 3 chicks grow and develop. This video pertains to chick coloration at hatch. The fuzzy feathers a chick have at hatch is called chick down and the coloration of the chick down can tell you a lot about what it will look like as an adult, when you are trying to evaluate a bird to keep at a young age. It can be expensive to keep every chick that hatches until it is fully feathered. Therefor it is important to be able to identify early indicators of good quality as well as bad. Just because a bird is tufted and rumpless does not mean it will be a good quality bird.
