Will it be ok?
I damaged it some.View attachment 2000045 View attachment 2000046

It might be ok, depends on what part you damaged. I would still try to plant it. If you don't plant it it definitely won't grow.

I need to get better pictures, just snapped these quick when I was down there, but I’m really starting to think I still only have the 3 boys.

What do you guys think? Probably wishful thinking, right? But the others combs, while pretty big and slightly pink, are really not that pink/red compared to the definite boys and haven’t gotten any redder so

But maybe just slow maturers? One of the black ones is sparring with the other boys but not the girls so probably a boy too.

I’m hoping the EE is a girl as it seems to have female coloring now? But thought it was a boy before so

Do I plant it now or do I wait a couple of days?

Which three do you think are boys?

The same ones as before. The Barred Rock, the Rhode Island Red, and one of the Welsummers (the other one is a definite girl). In these pictures, the red one next to the BR in several and the reddish one in front of the door third from bottom. That black one on the heat plate behind them is probably a boy too, huh?

I don't know.
Get clear photos and start a thread in that gender forum.

I always planted mine right away. I've tried the damp paper towel in plastic bag method, and planting on damp dirt and covering with cling wrap. Basically you are trying to make a tiny greenhouse.

I have really good luck sprouting things in a damn paper towel in a zip lock bag placed on top of my refrigerator.
I think I am going to try this way.

Okay will do but I might wait until I can get better photos of them outside in the natural light haha should be moving them tomorrow or Monday. It doesn’t matter that much to me really, mostly just curious. I do think the EE is a boy now though upon closer inspection.

Here’s another pic of all of them together.

Here’s some close ups on the little EE. Definitely a boy, right?
