    Thank you! That makes me so happy. That means out of the 12 chicks I had, I ended up with 7 hens 🥰 yay! What a journey it's been. Thank you to everyone who helped out. What a great community 😁

    Thank you for all your advice so far. Yesterday I returned 3 roosters back to the breeder (splash Orpington, blue Australorp and Marans). Unfortunately the other week our little runt passed away. I am holding on to the Black Australorp as he hasn't started crowing yet, and he is just so...

    Thank you. That's the way I'm leaning too. Such a shame he's the only one (so far) that will sit happily in my lap and fall asleep.

    10 weeks old now and they're just starting to get affectionate. This is my black Australorp. Always thought boy. Do you agree? I love him because he's sooo fluffy 😍

    How soon might I get fertilised eggs?

    Unfortunately he did start to crow soon after my original post. It was only pretty quiet, and not every day, but I'm sure it would have gotten louder and more frequent as he got better at it. Luckily the breeder took him back.

    No, he started crowing the week after I posted this so he had to go back to the breeder

    I'm so excited, I wanted to update. I left some eggs under my broody, and the first one just hatched today 🥰 She's such a good first time mumma.

    6 weeks old now. Silver laced barnevelder. This is my only Barnie, so I'm hoping she's a girl, but I can see tiny little wattles forming 🙁🤞

    5 week old Maran. This was always the biggest and I always assume rooster, but the older it's getting the more I'm leaning towards hen. Or maybe I'm just really hoping it's a hen 🙂 Im pretty certain at this point both my australorps are roosters ☹️

    Thanks. I assume he will crow at some stage, hopefully not any time soon 😁 The hen I saw him with is only about 10 months. I have older hens, but I haven't seen him with them yet. Once he starts crowing, I'll have to let him go. Breeder did say they will take him back, although I'm also...
