Day 22…one chick… Copper Maran x Buff Orpington but looks mostly Buff Orpington to me!
#day11 eggs 9, 10 and 13 all showing movement, hooray! Difficult to see anything but a good feeling about the brown egg (copper maran/buff mix). Suspect 4/5 viable out of 6.
Meanwhile 1 hen is sat on 7 eggs which may hatch in 2 weeks. She spent the whole morning of day 5 off the eggs but has otherwise nested well so I’ll candle in a couple of days but I expect a few will be viable.
Currently have one rooster (1 year old) who I have separated from my 11 hens due to a couple becoming bare backed. He’s a softy and the hens often bully him. One is a fan of his and she sneaks in for cuddles every couple of nights. Not sure what to do with him longer term.
