Thanks for the info. We've had chickens only a couple of years now, and are always learning something new! Looking closer at #2, I do see some yellowish coloration. My BCs came from a place that sold them and buff wheatons... Hmmmm.
These two were our first to hatch too - very exciting. Ours hatched out a couple days later than expected. I guess 21 days is probably just the average. I did start to see the eggs "wiggle" a little and heard peeps coming from the eggs before I noticed a tiny crack when the first began to...
We have two 6-week old black copper marans chicks we hatched and my husband and I are trying to figure out their gender. They are very similar in size, appearance, and temperament. We'd love your input on what you think!
