Broody orpington hatch her first egg two days ago. Can you tell by color if it's male or female?
 
Ok thanks...thought maybe since it was a cross breed you could tell by color. Also I have two other eggs under hen that were put under her a week after the first egg that hatched the hen is still sitting on them and candleing them they look like they are developing. Is that going to be a problem?

Nope, it's fine. She'll finish incubating and then raise all the chicks together.
 
One of the other eggs has started to hatch. The mama hen has left it and is with the one that has hatched a week earlier. Do you hust leave the chick trying to hatch alone
