Well without the even looking at chick #1 his attitude and posture are pretty clear he is a cockerel. #2 &3 both act female but I know that at this age that means little. Hopefully it is Boy Girl Girl because I would really like to see some Lavender/ Silver Lace Crosses!!!!
I am thinking Boy, Girl, Girl....they look much smaller in the pictures for some reason however they are bantams so they are a little small. My Silver Laced Cochin Bantam Hen is only about 4lbs and is 9 months old!
These Chicks all all three Lavender Cochin Bantam Chicks the first two are 4 weeks old the third is 3 weeks old and I need help sexing them I believe I've got it but others opinions are always best.
Chick #1
Chick #2
Chick #3
And that was my next guess as I did not have in place yet an area for them to move out of the light if they needed ( i figured that the few minutes they were in there would have been ok but apparently not because when i returned to check them and give them a shaded area they where both on there...
The brooder was constructed from an Styrofoam cooler similar in size to the incubator it was lined with wash cloths until they were big enough not to eat bedding and had easy access to water and feed. The heat source was a 250 watt heat lamp spaced high enough to make the thermometer register...
This is our first hatch & we only hatched 2 eggs. Pipped yesterday, one came out this morning & the other this afternoon. They visually had zero problems & seemed perfectly healthy in the bator. When I got home from work I put them in the brooder as they've been in the bator all day. My husband...
Well I am hoping the crowing of the black one means he is for sure a roo? I suppose we will just wait and see if the blue starts crowing or lays an egg...hopefully the later
Here are some better pics of the two...
Blue hopefully girl
Black very much boy he started making all kinds of noises when we pulled the blue one out to take pictures.
This is the only other photo I have for now. We have a Black Roo also and she looks nothing like him. We've checked "her" for spurs and she has none of the straight feathers that males are said to have & she is significantly smaller than him.
