    7 are inside under a brooder plate, 3 inside under a broody. With wing length it is hit or miss but I can sex the wheaten based off colour, then I use their siblings so compare. So I'm positive 4 are pullets and 2 are cockerels. The pair I posted show the difference in wheaten genders

    I'm not 100% on all of them, but now they are feathering I can seperate the lighter wheaten pullets from the darker cockerels, the pullets are also feathering in twice as fast so I can group the others with what I think they are. These I have down as a pair, cockerel and pullet

    All 7 incubator chicks hatched. Lots of wheaten based thanks to the speckled sussex used to introduce the mottling gene (Australian SS tend to be eWh).

    I have 4 chicks out of 7 in the incubator. The chick that pipped wrong end and hit a vessel hatched (pictured resting) as did another sibling that pipped wrong end. My fault as this usually happens when I dont turn often enough. Two more have pipped on the correct end

    My girl Bella now has three chicks, one remaining egg I candled but didnt see movement. My incubator eggs have also started pipping although one is on the wrong end and I see blood.

    I had a peek at my eggs, even though it's only been a few days. I could see 3 out of 4 under my broody hen have started, don't know why I candled the incubator already being a day behind but I could see 1 for sure developing and another 5 look promising

    My eggs arrived! My hen Bella has gone broody yet again and the air cells are amazing, so I'll be popping 4 under her since she's a bantam and the rest will go in the incubator

    I Wasn't going to hatch anything for a while but came across some project Brahma, speckled and mottled, now I have a dozen eggs on their way. My youngest son is also asking for me to hatch some quail, so I will most likely set a dozen or two of them
