    What colour will these sablepoot chicks be?

    I already have lemon so had ordered silver mille eggs to get something different. :-)

    What colour will these sablepoot chicks be?

    Hello, I've just hatched five supposedly silver millefleur sablepoots. But although one has been confirmed as silver mille (the silver and pale yellow one) the others clearly aren't. They're dark brown with yellow/orange heads. Can anyone tell me what colour they might turn out? I'm thinking...

    Sexing d'uccles

    So they all turned out to be girls, which is why I struggled - no boys for comparison! Lucky me!

    Sexing d'uccles

    Back again! My babies are now six weeks old, and I think they might all be girls. There's a couple the colouring makes me think maybe boys but none have any significant comb development so still not sure. What do you think? Two pictures of each.

    Thanks, and I hope you're right!

    Sexing d'uccles

    I've seen several posts now saying that d'uccle cockerels are pretty obvious at three weeks so...hoping that means my three week old babies are all girls?

    After six years keeping pekins, I now have Orpington bantams, sablepoots, and just hatched some d'uccles. Cuteness!

    Overdue Egg - any advice?

    Sad to say the chick died without attempting to hatch. The second broody kept leaving it so I took it in and kept it warm, but no luck.

    Overdue Egg - any advice?

    Ah, thank you - I guess that's where I was going wrong with calculating hatch date. :)

    Overdue Egg - any advice?

    :) Thanks, I'll keep persisting with it under another broody while I can still hear movement.

    No Crow Collar, opinions?

    If you use a collar, would you let me know how it goes? I'm following this thread. I have a hen who crows (definitely a hen because she's our best layer). Our immediate neighbours are fine with the noise but I always worry someone a bit further up the road might complain (even though several...

    Overdue Egg - any advice?

    This is my second time hatching bought fertile eggs under one of my broody Pekin bantams. With the first, all six hatched no problem at all at 22 and 23 days. This time I've had nothing but issues! Half the eggs either didn't develop or failed by 15 days. The first pipped two days late in the...

    Hello from the UK

    Oh, cool! My kids do cosplay with me too (but hubs refuses to join in). I did the adult/black costume Anakin from the Star Wars prequels last year for my first full cosplay (I don't really look like him but I don't really look very girly either and I definitely do not have the figure to pull off...

    Hello from the UK

    I'll have to look up that thread. 'Silly chooks'?! I just call mine cute. :-) I have to say the frizzles look pretty crazy though. I'm in Colchester, Essex.

    Hello from the UK

    Oh, I like Idris! Going to see Dark Tower purely because he's in it (not really a fan of King) but I don't have Netflix so haven't seen any of the shows from it.
