Well its been more like 5 weeks as we have been getting chicks for a couple. I take the chicks and put them in a brooder after they are hatched. If I let the hen raise them she will get down out of the nest and leave the rest of eggs to be with the chick. I don't have a pen just for broody hens...
Well somehow I have 5 broody hens sitting on everything they can get. Its been this way for a couple of months. I don't know how old each egg is because the other hens keep laying new ones. I am getting at least a chick or two every day.
The three on the right are Broody,
I got a couple...
Mine are Lav Ameraucana male and WLH female. All of mine ended up with slate legs but the pullets show it sooner. Around 3 weeks.
Edit: Actually, the males did have white legs when grown.
Sorry, its been a while since I had them.:idunno
Working on a new batch this year using WLH hens and Lav...
Good luck finding a Silver.
I don't think you càn get Silver or Blue by breeding black to white.If you bred back to black, you would get black and white chicks.
