Hatched 5 from this batch, one not pictured is definitely a roo and the other not pictured I’m fairly certain is a pullet.
Only keeping two cockerels so trying to figure out who’s on the chopping block so to speak.
Do you have anyone that can at least come check on them while you’re gone?
I’m far less experienced than many on here but I wouldn’t leave them alone for that long. Too many things that could go wrong.
We had our first (and second and third…) go at incubating our own eggs! The first round (incubator) are about 4 weeks old, the second round (incubator) just over a week old, and the third (under our first ever broody) due to hatch Tuesday or Wednesday.
It’s been a lot of fun!
I also bought some...
Forgot to update, but we had a huge power outage this week - all the eggs are now under broody Becky 🙏
Candled a few when I gave them to her and they were looking great!
Expecting to see some chicks Tuesday or Wednesday.
I know the gal I got her from doesn’t have any Ayam Cemani, but that’s the extent of my knowledge. I’ll do some research on Mystic Onyx and see if I can make any connections, otherwise I guess they’ll remain a mystery!
Thank you!
This chick is almost four weeks old, hatched from green egg. Dad is a blue copper marans. Photos of mom below, any ideas on her breed(s)? Mom has some dark spots on her comb, the chick’s is completely dark.
