Thoughts on gender? Few days shy of 10 weeks. No crowing or chest bumping yet. Had to take screenshots of video bc they don't like photo shoots! Lol. Last time people were thinking all boys... I'm thinking 50/50. Guesses?
5 weeks and 3 days... Haven't heard any crowing attempts and haven't seen any sparring. I'm hoping the ratio is maybe 3 gals to 1 guy! Not lucky enough to hatch all 4 gals lol. Any thoughts yet?
First hatch. Eeeek. I agree on no naming. Lol. For your roos, do you just use them for stew meat? We actually culled the rooster... He attacked me for the last time. The meat was terrible...chewy and tough. He was 2 years old.
5 of 7 chicks hatched like this under the hen and not in an incubator. They all lived but could not get out on their own. It was a very stressful 24 hours helping them hatch. They hatched 2 days earlier than expected. I'd expect this with a humidity problem in an incubator but not under momma...
