They sure are. thankfully I have raised a few natives for release so I got the older ones eating great but I have yet to raise one this young. since they are Rock Pigeons I can't legally release them so they will go on to live in lofts
Do pigeons count in this hatch along? I recently got a call for some squabs and eggs that needed relocating due to house maintenance and one of the two viable eggs I put into an incubator hatched over night. I'll take 100 chicks over just 1 newly hatched squab any day
11 out of 12 have hatched, no pip or anything on the remaining cream legbar egg but I'll candle and wait a bit as the Marans only hatched not long ago (dry though)
Cream Legbars. I ended up with 3 cockerels, 3 pullets
Lavender Sussex
This is meant to be a Speckled Sussex???
Bantam...
Two CCL and a sussex have hatched and I think I have made a big oppsie not seperating because this sussex is speckled (brain fart thought both sussex were Lavender) and it looks just like the female CCL. On a plus the two CCL are very different so I think these may be easy to sex.

This lot plus maybe a few from tomorrow will be going in for a Valentines day hatch if I get any. Various hens with two young cross breed roosters. I have seen the boys doing what boys do with the ladies so this will hopefully tell me if the boys are working and with who exactly as I know which...
Did a quick candle and it looks like all are developing except 2 cream legbar, but they are darker and I misplaced my good candler so they could still have wee embryos i couldnt see. I'll be happy with 8 legbars but will do a better check at next candling
I currently have 10 Cream Legbar, 3 Marans and a single egg each of Lavender Sussex, Speckled Sussex, Polish, Orpington and Bantam Orpington with a hatch day of February 3rd.
I purchased these from a local breeder since I have replaced most of my older roosters with some young ones I hatched...
