16 eggs, 3 species, 1 homemade incubator: Will it be done?

[Sara L]

Any of you have/know about Buff Brahmas? I hatched one lonely chick this weekend and the other eggs didn't make it so I just bought him some friends. Feedstore said they were Buff Brahmas. Do they come in different color variations or can the chicks be sexed by color? One is very light in color and the other has a dark brown head. I've never had this breed before.

Pictures. Buff Brahmas don't come in different color variations.

Are they even Brahmas then? They look like full sized chicks, and have four toes with feathering down the legs and toes.

All three together (from left to right: light, dark, and my chick):

My chick, barnyard mutt. I think the mom might have been one of our 1/2 Welsummers (feather color is from Welsummer mom but most of them have extra toes and dark legs from the barnyard mix father). We have three roosters, a Black Jersey Giant "Onyx", a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte "Patches", and a barnyard mix "King". The Jersey Giant is the only one with a single comb, and the barnyard mix has the extra toes (some silkie ancestry). The chick looks like it will have a single comb, but it has yellow legs and extra toes.

If you ask me, you have 1 light brahma chick and 2 buff brahma chicks.
The lighter chick is more typical of a light brahma.
Buff brahma chicks should look like the two darker ones.

The last one, the one with the chipmunk stripe is a barnyard mix, and we don't have any brahmas. Dunno what it will look like when it gets bigger, will try to post pics as they grow. It will be cool having brahmas, I'm glad I got two types. I was going to raise them with my turkeys so I wonder how big they will get.

I wasn't talking about the last chick. I read your post and know it's a mix.
I'm talking about the Brahma chicks you asked about.

I was confused by the numbers in your earlier post. They are happy little fluffers. Trying to decide if I should give them names or wait until they are feathered.

If anyone is interested in an almost perfect black Sumatra rooster PM me.
I will send pictures. He is available for sale after July 15. Free OBO.

I am posting for a friend. This and my age prevent me from making a listing in BST so here and my other threads will really be the only place where this ad is listed on this site.
I will also post it on the Wisconsin state thread.
