Thanks so much guys - are we all agreed that the golden and silver look like pullets? That was my biggest concern. I know, looking at them that one of the blacks is probably a cock. You've all been so helpful - big shout out to Sahraschweiss!

Saying hi from The Wirral (near Liverpool). Just joined for some hatching advice - on day 20 of first incubated batch (only 5 eggs - set 6 but lost one early on). Anyway, hi to all my fellow UKer's!!! :frow
Thanks for the reply Tre3hugger - will watch and wait for now - just concerned about risk of infection. This is worse than waiting to go into labour!!! I'm even dreaming about chickens!!!😂
