The roo has black feet with black nails, one has black feet with yellow nails and one has black and grey mottled feet with yellow nails. Until the roo doubled in size this was the ONLY way we could tell them apart.

Thank you so much, that makes it a heck of a lot easier to figure out. That pretty much makes the one rooster the Blue/Black Maran. The blue roo and white hen are OEs, the three blackies are EEs (they are almost identical except for their feet so I think they are the same batch, but who knows)...

Here is the illustrated mystery. I don't know who "Blue" is but one of those eggs hatched and survived. I labelled two of the OE eggs for those two roosters I already posted pictures of with feathered feet. We are pretty sure that one of the EE eggs is a white hen that is getting random...

Hey Donna, what type would you say this is? It is from the eggs we got from you.

I was away when they hatched and Shannon was real busy so keeping track of them wasn't real easy. We also weren't real concerned with who was who. We just wanted diversity, we definitely have that. Now if they would just lay me an egg before I leave. This is Juniors foot, on the left you can...

Also, the blue one has 3 1/2 toes per foot.

Actually, both of these guys got the feathered legs. We had three OEs hatch and we have 3 Black chicks, I was pretty sure of that, but who knows. We also got one that is all white except for a couple half brown feathers, any idea what that one is?

Help me find a Home! Well it finally happened, one of our girls crowed at me this morning. So I did enough research to find out about saddle feathers and it looks like we have 2 roosters. Both of them were hatched April 29th from eggs we got from DMRippy. These are our 2 favorite out of...

I am trying to find "river sand" to finish off our coop but I am having no luck. I have called both of our local quaries and neither carries anything more then course construction sand. I am trying to follow what was posted in the tutorial about sand but I can't find what they are talking...

This morning there are 5 chicks and 2 unzipping. From the picture it looks like a couple Blue barred rock, a Lav split, a Blue Maran and an EE.

Thanks Donna it we will hold off for now. I am not sure what will be going on when I get home but I am sure it will keep me busy for a bit

Donna, are they frizzles? That is what we want. Next weekend might be too soon. I will be home in 2 weeks.

A Lavender just hatched! It's black and slimy.

Pictures will have to wait. For the time being I am living the Army camping life and I can't post pics from my phone. The EE that hatched was named Lacey by my 4 year old and she is still all wet. We have a Lav that pipped another EE and it looks like one of the Blue barred rocks. Kinda hard to...

Hey Donna, one of the Easter Eggers hatched this afternoon! Shannon said dour more have pipped but two don't look like they are still moving. They were just locked down yesterday morning so it is a bit early. I am wondering if it is too warm in the bator. The temp was spot on and before the egg...

Thanks to you I will have some in a couple weeks. I am leaving for a month tomorrow so we did the day 10 candling a little early, at day 8. We had 2 D'Uccles and 1 Barred Rock that were clear or blood rings that got scrapped. 5 were such dark shells we could only see the air sac and 13 of...

W.Morton, I wish I could take some of those eggs off your hands but my incubator is a little full right now. Donna, I was a little impatient and candled about half of your eggs tonight. There was only one I would call clear, of course I couldn't see squat in the Olive Eggers, Marans, or the...

Can anyone give me good tips on sexing a chick before it starts to crow or lay eggs? Otherwise it may be a few months before I know.

I have a RIR that is almost two weeks old so I have no idea if she is a roo yet but if she is you are welcome to her. Until she crows I have no idea of her sex though. We are calling her "her" with optimism.

Donna, what were those Bantams called again? The egg is marked with an M and Aidan called them leopards. Just want to make sure we call them by the right names. It was really nice to meet you and Doug as well. The whole family loved it and there was a sparkle of my future in Shannon's eye...
