What luck

[Karrie13]

I hatched out 12 chicks 4 weeks ago, 11 first gen Olive Eggers (FBCM roo over EE hens) and 1 for fun chick (FBCM roo over California White). I knew when the FBCM/Cali White hatched that it was a boy, had a HUGE comb. He has sense proved this true, his comb/wattles are large and red especially for only 4 weeks old. Well as I was looking at my OE chicks, I started counting the red combs vs. flesh colored combs. I counted 9 red and only 2 flesh. So that means I potentially have 9 OE Roos and only 2 possible pullets. So out of 12 chicks I have 10 that is TEN boys and only 2 girls, 83% hatch rate of boys vs. girls. What’s up with that?

Yah, I'm adding to my "collection" of roos, myself.

Cute boogers when they come out of the shell with combs, though. Makes it really easy to keep an eye on 'em right away.

Wish I had better luck finding homes for 'em.

Aw, that just stinks.
