    Let me work on that now. What section, you think? Stories of my Chickens? Genetics? Like blue x rir/buff=?

    Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so thrilled that the hatch went so well! I bet that Blue Orp egg is Smoky's, which on occasion, did resemble Meg's. Excellent!!! Maybe I will start a thread about Meg and Suede, but then, I may have to put her back in with the big guy, LOL...

    Hey, Ed, is the hatch over yet? Hope you have a couple more babies to report!

    Well, sometimes I think I can sex them the same way. But the headspots are rather fuzzy and hard to see.

    Julie? You're talking about the name on the eggs, right? I have a Charlotte, Gypsy, Nora, Snow and June. Bet it's June. Great big egg would be hers.

    This thread by Crazyhen shows one of Meg's babies at five weeks old. Looks girly to me in the picture. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=157648

    Takes several weeks to tell on the Orps. I've only hatched two Meg babies here, one is three and a half weeks and one is two weeks old (the red one). The older one, at this point, looks like a pullet, but I always reserve final judgement till the Orps are over a month old. This little guy I have...

    This is one of my own Meg babies for comparison, though this was taken several days ago and he's growing some cool-looking wings now. The legs on the EEs will be white rather than yellow, so yes, the legs, the comb, the beard... you can tell for sure.

    Quote: You'll be able to tell. The EEs will have a pea comb or a modified pea comb and most will have puffy cheeks, too. And as they feather in, the bars will be more fuzzy and irregular than the pure BRs. Of course, if the baby is blue, that's a giveaway! Your Meg baby is really red! It...

    You know, putting the hen's name on the egg when I'm sure who laid it makes it easy to see if a particular girl's eggs have ceased to be fertile. Case in point, Skye. Now, I know hers are not fertile because she is not allowing Suede to do his roosterly duties. So, when I know who gave me that...

    They do look like pullets, Ed! Wonderful! My Meg baby that is blue and red started out looking bright red in the bator.

    I'm excited for you! I cant wait to see how Meg's babies look since I've only seen a few of them, some quite different than the rest, and I hope you get at least one BLUE barred EE.
