Ok. Since there were no sounds or further movement, I gently removed pieces of shell starting at pip/crack. 2 were all yolk, only made it as far as veins. The other 3 had either quit or otherwise died before hatch stage. Momma must have purposely cracked them maybe smelled the icky smell...

I would really like to hear this one. My broody hatched 4, and left the rest behind. Don't have an incubator, so have them under a heat light with a dampened paper towel over them. Yesturday was hatch day, so I still have hope. Candled them a bit ago and the cracks that are around the eggs...

Thanks, Guess I have to rehome another one. My group from this year sure has shrunk. That house in the country has not materialized for us yet.:(

My Standard Light Brahma is getting some feathers that worry me a bit. And.. she is already bigger than my 1 yr old buff orpington. Already had to rehome my 2 polish for being boys.... So can I still call her Sarah, or do I need to change it to Sam? About 12 wks old.

This is my first time having polish. Here are my 3, at 5 weeks old. The black one, Fireball, started out being quick as lighting, but now prefers to sleep and hang out under the heat. Any guesses on gender?

Here is an updated picture of Virginia. She looks to be lavender color all o ver.

Do you have any pic of 3 or 4 weeks old? I have one that I think might be a bantam cochin.

I also have a standard light brahma who is a week older than Virginia. Here is her wing feathers at same age as Virginia. First pic is Virginia at 2 wks. 2nd pic is the standard size at 2 wks.

So here these 2 are at 2 weeks old. Virginia is getting a very slight upward curl on her wing feathers. Do you still think brahma? Or is it possible I have a frizzle?

Thank you for thr replies :)

Viginia wing growth, Clairabelle's is pictured already.

The wings on Clairabelle seem to be growing in faster than Virginia's.

I am trying to figure out what my 2 bantam chicks might be. Any ideas welcome.

anyone with ideas?

my son works at Coastal in Eugene. they have chicks. there are assort brown, assort white, buffs, silver lace Wyandot.. meat chicks.. maybe others can't remember

I am taking care of my neighbors chickens and twice now I have caught Lady Wellington, a blue andalusian mounting their buff orp hen. they are the same age and have both been laying for 2-3 weeks. There are 9 young hens total, with space of 10 ft by about 20 feet for run. forage time in yard...

I am in Eugene and know of several backyard chicken keepers. As "in city" we are technically allowed 2 chickens and no roos, but that is not enforced unless you have a complaining neighbor. I have 8 and my neighbor has 9.

Just wanted to give an update on the barred pullet. What we called a Plymouth Rock has laid five almost white eggs so now I'm calling Jilly and Lucy California Grey's here is a picture of Jilly at 20 weeks (first started laying at 19wks)

another First Egg. this one is pinkish. wish I knew which one paid the rent lol.

forgot pic
