It should be fine, you'll find out real quick with that many chicks you'll need a bigger brooder. It's amazing how fast they grow. I would just watch the younger ones closer and make sure they aren't being trampled and are getting enough to eat and drink. I've done this before and it's worked...

I'm not exactly sure, that could be interesting. I hatched out an EE/silkie who I am assuming is Roo right now at 6 weeks. Weird look'in little guy. Feathering in like a normal EE, but has 5 toes and feathered feet.

Just one more little tidbit, My EE/black copper maran mixed hen lays green eggs too!

Bless you for what you do for these animals! I am an animal lover and it's really hard for me not to take in every stray. Most of your EE's will lay a green egg, which is kinda cool too in my opinion. To be technical, yes not all of them will lay a green egg, just a pink to brown shade. If your...

I wonder if a cat deterrent would work.

All I was trying to do is help her identify the chicks that probably would, she asked. I see a chick in the pic that is most likely an EE or Aurcana and I'm assuming it has green legs? All my EE's have green legs and lay green eggs, that's all I was saying. I've raised a lot of birds and know...

I'm waiting to hear of some good news, post pics when you can!

I was suspect that at 7/8 weeks old they shouldn't have any growth on the combs yet. It they have red combs and wattles they are probably roos.

I'm not exactly sure, but it looks like a sultan mix maybe. Does it have 5 toes?

I didn't see if you mentioned age, but from the looks I'm guessing maybe 6 weeks? The one black one you have in questions is most likely a roo. I see a large comb and wattles. If at this point you are see any red/pink combs, they are probably roos. That's the hard thing with getting straight...

I don't have much advice, other then to watch and see what happens. You could try electrolytes, like save-a-chick and see if at helps. Good luck!

There is not telling how long it will take for them to start laying again. Stress will cause them to stop laying. I'm surprised things have gone so well for the newly introduced hens, good for you. But It's usually not that simple, slowing introducing is usually how I have to do it. I'm just...

haha, That's why I will hatch once every spring. It raises my blood pressure!

Day 21 is actually hatch day. If you wait one more day, I'm sure you'll see some action. On occasion you might see an earlier hatcher, but not always and also late hatchers on day 22 or 23. Good luck, I know waiting is hard!

Feathering on the feet is normal, i'm not sure why one doesn't have feathers. May or may not grow later on. Good Luck, sure cute!

My silkies don't do this, what do you use for a waterer?

Barred Rocks hands down in my opinion. Best layer of any breed I've owned.

Feathered footed for a black copper Maran is normal.

I agree :)

I don't over charge for my eggs, I don't guarantee fertility and they sell as backyard mixes. If they are purebred I would definitely charge more.
