Welsummer chick. Looks to be a roo.

another BCM

. Pic of one of my new BCM chicks. I ended up with 8 marans and 1 Welsummer.

Yes Welsummers are sexable at birth by markings. The hens have what looks like black eye liner around the eyes and a black "V" shaped mark behind the eye. The roos have none of these markings. It's very easy to tell.

Yes they are BCM chicks. They are unfortunately not sexable at birth. Well at least by markings or color. I can usually tell by 3-4 weeks the roos from the hens.

Here's a couple pics of mine. Still have a couple more in the bator that just made it out today. Just let it be said I won't be buying anymore eggs from that breeder. I think the eggs were old or infertile. I think 2 or 3 of the 24 eggs I got from him have hatched. I had customers with 24...

Ok very nice. They are marked just like welsummers chicks. Are they sexable at birth like welsummers? Im guessing they may be since you've said " 1 boy and 4 girls"

Are Here are my babies!!! I believe it's 1 boy and 4 girls. I need name suggestions. What breed are these? Look like Welsummers

Check that... Looks like #7 just made it out.

Cute babies Cali Chick! I'm up to 6 still several pipped. Mine are a little slow it seems. I'm wondering if my timps were a little low. I have three thermometers in it. The little glass one that came with it, a fish tank thermometer and my new digital egg thermometer. They all read a...

The one that pipped last night is zipping nicely now. Looks like a couple more pipped too this morning. Kacklinkelly, I have a Little Giant styrofoam chest type incubator w/auto egg turner. Only thing I can say I'm not pleased with about it are the temp swings. It might be 98 degree one...

Awe Awesome! Glad the last one made it out for you.

Sounds like you are doing pretty well. I have one pipped so far. I could also hear chirping. My hatch day is tomorrow. I will post some pics this weekend when I get them to the brooder.

Put mine in lockdown this evening. Got my brooder ready also. I'm ready to see these little fuzzy butts too! The eggs I bought I hope to get some blue copper marans and some black coppers. I know some with probably be splash but I'm not really into the splash varity too much... I may sell...

Yeah shipped eggs are a challenge. I've had mixed results whenever I've tried shipped eggs. I sell and ship hatching eggs all the time and my buyers seem to have good and even great hatch results. I guess I'm just going to have to stick with hatching my own for a while. I bought the marans...

I candled this evening. Results were less than impressive. I had 13 that I pulled out of my 32 eggs. The rest are definitely developing good. I got 24 Black/Blue/Splash Marans eggs off eBay and looks like the eBay eggs aren't that good. I marked them with an "e". All those I pulled have an...

Since I don't take mine out until at least after day 10..... I would be a little afraid to break mine open anywhere near my house. I usually just throw them in a nearby patch trees not too far of my back patio. Unless I want to break them open and check embryo development.

Candled mine this evening. From what I can tell looks like I have only a few that look like they may not be developing. I will candle mine again just before lockdown and remove those that are no good. How's everyone else coming along? Happy Holidays everyone!
