Thank you, Overrun. I went and took a look and I think I know who is who now, but since they're not pure BR, I guess there could be some complications. We'll see as they grow and I'll learn from this whole experience.
I forgot to say earlier that, yes, I will have hatching eggs this Spring...

Ooh, I have the Eco 20 and I love it
Were your BCMs shipped eggs? I had terrible luck with shipped eggs last year, so this year I am sticking to eggs that I can pick up locally.
I'll bet your chicks are adorable. I've heard Barred Rocks and Welsummers are pretty easy to sex at...
I just hatched 13 babies in my Christmas present Brinsea bator. The purpose was to hatch some Blue Copper marans but out of 11 eggs only 3 of those hatched. I put mixed breed eggs from my coop in with them and now have 10 of those - Barred Rock, Black Australorp, Welsummer, Speckled Sussex...
HI All,
I haven't posted in a while. been real busy with two new goose babies. They are my first incubation and I got 2 out of 4 - both girls, Pilgrim Geese. They are sweethearts. Three weeks old today.
I have 26 chicks and 5 laying hens. The hens are from Spring '08 - 3 big Barred Rocks...
Hi fellow Vermonters! I'm in the hills between Newbury and East Corinth. I'm fairly new to BYC but am totally hooked. This is my second year raising chickens and my first try at incubating. I'm in the process of building a new coop and I've just rehabbed my old one to use as a 'broody coop'...
