4 girls and a boy so far! I have not checked under mom yet this morning. There are/where 6 more eggs to go last night.
I did have to put a Polish chick in with the first 3, to teach them how to eat.
Anyone else have an issue with pasty butt on the Jaers? I had to clean the first of the girls...
Thanks Amy!
That is a pretty hen! Do they still auto-sex? or would that go back to something like the black and white barring gene? I have a lighter hen, but not like that. She just has some white flecking. Very pretty Duramax!

The temperament is...
So, could you all tell me how my two look? Please...and be honest. I am hatching out some from these two and got 6 in the mail. So, I need to know who I should keep and who needs to go.
I got my First Jaerhon chick!
But I do not know if it is a boy of a girl.
Thoughts....?
And I think I got a JaerhonXHamburg...?
