    Oh thank you so much, this is beyond stressful! It never quite looked right when candling but I’m new and it’s a dark welsummer egg. I didn’t expect it to get this far at all. And they keep pecking at it which makes me go all mama bear. I did move out the 4 biggest ones that were all dried off...

    This one pipped around midnight last night and finally made a decent hole. But it looks brown inside and I don’t have a good feeling this is normal since the other 8 hatched beautifully with white membranes I believe. Anything I should do? 😕 I do see it’s still moving.

    Awesome thank you! And thank you @Canadian Wind! Funny thing to report, we have one that was stamped as a barred rock and I’m preeeetty sure this golden sweetie is not one 😂 Maybe White Plymouth? Who knows, let the guessing games begin. Five have hatched out though!

    I’ve almost joined this thread 3 times and stopped because I’m just nervous for our first incubation! We set 14 to be due today on my birthday. 🥰 3 were not fertile (is that normal from shipped hatchery eggs?) - 1 quitter - 10 went to lockdown. Our darker eggs were questionable so we left them...

    Chicken Creep Walking?

    Hey did you ever figure this out? My andalusian is doing the same thing! It’s hysterical but want to make sure nothing is wrong!

    Do we have a legbar? Bonus EE question :)

    A very big yes on the personality 🤣 That had me suspecting a cockerel mixup day one! Thanks! I feel like it has the more female coloring too, our ee cockerel had more chunky/darker patches as he feathered in too 🤔

    Do we have a legbar? Bonus EE question :)

    Oh the plot thickens! My last ee cockerel’s comb turned quite red about 6 weeks so I’ll be on the lookout 🤪

    Do we have a legbar? Bonus EE question :)

    Thank you both! I had no idea there were EE without beards, and with crests. How fun! Excited we have all pullets too, going to be quite a colorful egg basket.

    Do we have a legbar? Bonus EE question :)

    Just when I thought I’d figured her out, this little lady sprouted a crest in the last couple of days. About 5 weeks old today, is she a cream legbar? She’s from Meyer, but wasn’t banded. A few photos of her growth for good measure. Few days old 3 weeks Also, we have this EE who should...

    Pullet or Cockerel? Dumped Chicken

    Can EE hens have combs that large and red?Our hen was so light and small always. I thought the deeper rust coloring on the wing was a male sign too. I’m so surprised everyone said hen, I’m here to learn!

    Our Meyer Order - How did I do this time?

    I placed this order in February and they shipped exactly on the date I chose. I ordered extras partly in case some didn’t make it and I’m happy to say they seem very healthy! We’ll see how it turns out in a few weeks with the accuracy of the sexing.

    Our Meyer Order - How did I do this time?

    Oh thank you for that tip, I’ll be on the lookout for the dots then. Now that I’ve figured out what everyone is, hopefully I can enjoy them for a little while before stressing there’s boys that slipped in here 🤣 I definitely understand chick fever!

    Our Meyer Order - How did I do this time?

    Thank you! We had our first flock 2 years ago just from TSC grabbing anything. Everyone here was so helpful. They went to live at my in-laws when we moved a state away. I could not wait have chickens again!

    Our Meyer Order - How did I do this time?

    Back now posting the lot of ‘em! I wanted 8 pullets of different breeds and so it made total sense to order 16 right? 😆 After some analyzing, ok obsessing, of threads here and the Meyer site, my assignments are at the end along with our order. 1.White Leghorn 2.Buff Orpington 3. Silver...
