For day 5, yeah looks like it, I would keep it for a few more days, but it probably is dead..

me too, and the tail is extremely pretty, which makes me think male as well, but thats the only signs. They are 8 weeks old, so you would think there would be more signs by now. (All the other males have hackles, and saddles) it could also just be an extreamly late male, it does have the pea...

Here ya go.

Turns out I was wrong (I think) its actually 5 males and 1 female. (No saddles or anything that screams male, all though the pattern makes me not so sure.) the comb has gotten paler, this is an older photo. Its the only one without me in it.

There goes the plan of keeping one. But it will work out in the end, I am planing on putting a hatchery order for lavender orpingtons. And white crested black polish chicks. Getting some lavender males for meat, and the females for eggs. And I just simply like the look of polish chickens.

Update, what is the chance of my 100% hatch rate…. To end up all males. 6 male’s, 0 female’s. insane.

Makes sense. I know sometimes cockerels fight when their housed together.

You got yourself a lot of boys. Good luck!

Aw thank you!

I forgot to mention, she survived 2 bad bully attacks. Now she has eye trama. (Aka heatrocroma) but she still is a fighter. Probably going to live to be at least 15. (The heatrocroma is very noticeable in the last and third to last photo.)

Aw thank you! I have no clue what she is though, She was from TSC. A family member bought her and couldn’t keep her, so I ended up with her and her sister (who was carried off by something) she is probably a production breed, all though she goes broody three times a year lol. (More than some...

someone’s happy, this is the most chicks this hen has ever had at once, her biggest one before was three. Yes some of them do have feathered legs, so I am hoping one of them ends up female.

Congratulations!

Pft.

Tomorrow they probably will pip. Trust me, they will pip the second you leave them alone for a few hours.

Hows it going? Any chirps yet?

Yes, I think so too! I was planning on selling all these chicks, but I may keep one female just to remember the hatch rate.

Also all the chicks hatched! Just waiting on the little one to dry and then I will let mama hen out for a moment. (With the stronger chicks. I will be holding the two newborns. Its around 87F so its definitely warm enough for them)

Thanks! I’ve never gotten a 100% hatch rate before so Im pretty proud of this hatch.

5/6 are hatched, we are just waiting on the last one. (It was day 19 yesterday) once this little one is out it will be a 100% hatch rate.
