    that looks like little Roo to me. I'm fearing the same thing here with 2 of my BCM babies...time will tell. Maybe the babies will look better than the daddies now, then I'll have to make some changes...

    Me too- I'm going to set a few of the darkest eggs my Marans are laying (they hatched last Spring and just started laying a month ago!) in a day or two, they look pretty dark to me- I need to get an egg color chart to see how dark they are. I have 6 eggs from my Sebastopols too, so I may start...

January or 2013..they are 10 months old! Here is 1 pic with one of the eggs- it's sort of like...

    Here are some new photos of my BCM and BBS Marans..they're 7 and 8 weeks old now. I have 32 in all, ( 2 of them being OE chicks.) The all black one with cheek poofs is one of the OE and there's a beautiful blue pullet OE too. I think they're both girls. I know it's too soon to see who looks...

    omg is that little 'turd' adorable! We'd only be so lucky to find a little one who needed our help like he needs you.

    Thanks- and as promised: a fuzzy butt dried up and fluffy chicks pic...with Teddy. The big chicks next door had Teddy last week and seem to be only using him now (to stand on his head to get higher up in the brooder box ( ) Sadly the lame one who wasn't getting up had to be culled today. He...

    well 12 little BCMs hatched. I did help 1 or 2 out...for some reason, even though I never opened it after lockdown, they didn't progress and I could see them weakening. So they're all doing great except 1...who lays on it's back alot and cheeps, flails its legs...etc. Time will tell- but here is...

    11 out (1 is about out) and 1 nicely zipped. 3 not pipped or doing anything. I'll wait for the zipped one and the about out 1 to ba all the way out then I'll check that other "thought to be good" one to see what's going on.... They're in various stages of wet-dry so once all dry and fluffy, I'll...
