So, I had a rough hatch and ended up having to take the 2 chicks that hatched away from the mama because she was mean... but here are my new little *first* hatch of my own eggs chicks!!! The Roo is a SLW and the mamas could be BO, EE, SLW, BR, BSL, or BA. I'm sure that one of the chicks (assuming it's the dark one) is an EE/SLW because one of the hatched eggs was green and my EE, of course, is my only green egg layer. I'm guessing the other is BO/SLW, since it's yellow- right? My BO chicks (when I first got them all) were my only yellow chicks. The one has a bloody little head because mama hen pecked at it, but otherwise they seem to be doing well now. They hatched early this morning.
More pics to come...
