You know what time it is! 6 week old gender guesses!

Ok! Here is my whole chicken story. This is over 2 1/2 years of chicken keeping.
I started with 2:
(Dead) Smoky the Black Silkie
(Dead) Peek-a-boo the Buff Silkie

These died at a few days old.

Then I got 6 more:
(Still own) Little Big Shot, a Black Cochin Bantam:

(I still own) Sky the Black Cochin Bantam with a blue legband. She wouldnt hold still. She likes to take to the sky!

Then I got rid of Frazz and Wildfire. I hatched some eggs under a broody hen. One chick resulted.

(Dead) Uno the lonely Black Cochin Bantam

He died from being pecked in the head.

I got an incubator and hatched 3 chicks. Then I bought 2 more from TSC.

In January, Nugget was killed in a hawk attack. Luckily she was the only fatality. She laid 4 eggs before she died, and I stuck them in the bator. These had been refridgerated for up to a week. From this, I got 2 chicks.

(Dead) Nug Nug the Sebright/OEGB. She was named after her mother.

(Dead) Downy the Sebright/OEGB

We sold Soldier to my friend.

A few months ago, I came home to gnats swarming and Nug Nug and Downy were dead. The next day, Boots also passed from the gnats. So, I hatch 5 Blue Cochin Bantams.

(I still own) Pebbles the Blue Cochin Bantam. See above picture

(I still own) Dani the Blue Cochin Bantam. See above picture

(I still own) Hope the Blue Cochin Bantam. See above picture

(Sold) Echo the Blue Cochin Bantam

(Dead) Mystery the Blue Cochin Bantam

When they were about a week old, I bought 6 chicks at TSC that were about a week old.

(About to sell) Maple the Millie Fleur Duccle. See above picture.

(Trying to sell) Millie the Millie Fleur Duccle. See above picture.

(I still own) Myrtle the Millie Fleur Duccle. See above picture.

(I still own) Marsh the Red Pyle OEGB. See above picture.

(I still own) Mallow the Partridge Silkie. See above picture.

(Trying to sell) Desi the Golden Laced Sebright. He is named Desi, because he is destined for death. Just like the 3 other Sebrights or sebright crosses that Ive had. See above picture.

I accidently hatched 6 black chicks under a hen. I didnt name them and sold them when they were under a week old. I sold Echo with them. Then, Mystery was eaten by a snake. Thats where I'm at now!

I had a golden seabright roo that I rehomed. He was ill tempered despite being raised from day one by hand. My seabright hen was getting umm... overbred in the sense that he didn't like any of the other hens so she was his number one target. She's with a mlle fleur rooster who treats her well and is less selective then the seabright roo. I wonder if it's a breed thing. I giggled about Desi. Mine was Dante through all the hell raising he did before we rehomed.
