The barred rocks are the cutest little things. They’re the tiniest of the bunch and are so sweet and gentle.

The EE gender suspicion continues. He’s the bravest and biggest by far. Note the posture here, he’s the only one who randomly stretches up to survey everything.

The little welsummer is absolutely gorgeous, her eyes make me melt. I won’t dwell on it but it really is a shame her sweet sister didn’t make it.

One of my two EE chicks was enormous. I was certain she was a rooster. Dwarfed the others until they were fully grown. She was the first the lay by a long a shot. I'll never know when my Sussex girl would've laid as she was taken by that coyote this morning, but my other EE is looking like she's ready any day now.

I am going to try to see if I can get refrigerated quail eggs that are meant for eating to hatch.
I highly doubt they will develop but I need to run the bator.

Oh no...I am sorry.

If these quail eggs don't develop I must find something else to hatch.
Something not normal.
Maybe I can try the chicken balut eggs again, although they were sold out this morning.
I was actually planning on buying a few of the chicken baluts today and was sad to see there was none.

I would love to be wrong!
Maybe all 8 are pullets. That would be a miracle lol.

Sorry, no but the dark line around his eyes was very uneven/blurry in comparison as well as the chipmuck stripes were less defined.

His stripes are very messy. He has eyeliner but not near as much as the welsummer.

There’s a YouTube channel called a chick called Albert, and he did that. He does all sorts of stuff like that.

You've lost your marbles, woman! Or, lost your eggs... or, whatever. Lost something that used to make you a sane functioning (outside the bater) human being!
