Can I get opinions on color again? We are still arguing over this one..I might point out my boyfriend is color blind..so I think I am right.
Cockerel hatched 6-29-12
Not sure..but I think this also might be a cockerel. Hatched 9-7-12
Two chicks, hatch date 9-23-12
Chick #1...
Still look like BLRW or Black? 4 weeks old now. Sometimes I think it acts like a little roo...and then one of them that I am sure is a pullet will act the same way and blow my theory! =)
Lenny crowed this morning! LOL, all this talk about crowing, he must have overheard. He is 21 or 22 weeks and today was the first time. He did it 3 or 4 times in a row. It didn't even sound messed up.
I have two 21 week old cockerels and 6 13 week old cockerels..not one of them has crowed even once. So I would have to say that crowing isn't a great way to sex, unless they actually crow!
I found this picture on Inside Yolks web site..it shows the three chicks side by side. Black, Blue and Splash.

That is two pictures of one chick. We only have one. I ordered eggs and hatched them out. The eggs looked like they were packaged awesome, but out of 10 only one hatched. The rest looked like they had ruptured air cells and yolks. I'm thinking rough handling from post. It was also our first...
