Yay!! I love surprises

And oh gosh -- from Missouri? From Missouri if you mail them tomorrow they might be here Saturday. Or not -- my north/south priority mail has been taking four days to get here. East-west seems to be a little quicker, I have no idea why... So whatever you think is best!

Do you want them to get there Saturday? I can mail them out in the morning....

I now have 7 out of 12 NJ hatched and 4 pipped and one moving. Could someone PLEASE tell me how to tell male from female? They all look exactly the same!!

The hens will be mostly or all brown with a white dot. The roos will be blondish/gold/white with a predominance of light fluff. If you post some pics we might be able to help.

That is a great number btw!

The hatched chicks are completely brown with a little white on top of their head. So, do you think I have all hens so far? No light color or blond at all. I will post pict in a little while.

Quote: Yes, I have seen your pics. Your birds are lovely!
I will quote a few reasons why I like them (without regards to grammar or syntax) : head carried high, neck long full carried erect, back well-balanced and concave and medium (in production terms --not serama-- medium is rare so kinda "read" as not long(shorter than almost if not all others) and almost all other breeds call for long) and tail graceful -- and with a 'sweep' (what I look for is a definate 'swoopy' back to tail with no flat spots and no flatness in shoulder) and full carried high (again in most production breeds anything over 40-45 is too high and we can go 50 degrees so think what looks too high, relatively, and you're probably just right!
I look for birds that meet the SOP as much as possible but because so few are shown, what is written may seldom win as most utility breeders may find my ideal would be too 'typey' Your pullets, esp one in my mind as I remember them, cannot be confused with a P. Rock, Orp, or anything like that... That's a good thing!

I am not computer-y or tech-y enough to do pics. Hubby will be helping once the weather is better.

Here ia a girl. The girls have darker down and a white head spot.



The boys are ligher overall with larger white covering most of the head and chin and a light patch on the back. Both of these are boys.

Most likely! Here are a couple pics I just snapped of two NJ's I hatched from CJWaldon's eggs a few days ago...

I most definitely have all girls at this time

Thanks for the information and pictures. It's better if you have a visual!

I most definately have all girls at this time

If you decide not to keep them all I will take them!!! They are just the cutest sweetest things, my oldest three are completely feathered out and their beautiful colors are coming in. They look similar to legbars only more goldeny and I personally think they are prettier
