Looks like a young pullet, from how sharply defined the eyeliner and stripes are. I love the chipmunky ones!

Day 21 has concluded. 7 healthy chicks hatched. 3 bantam EE mixes, 1 Cinnamon Queen EE mix, 3 full EEs. One EE egg remaining. For a first time hatch using a home made incubator and refrigerated eggs from both a young roo and young hens I couldn't be more happier and surprised!, Thanks to all the good folks on this site and the wealth of knowledge that is out there for the taking. I could not and would not have done it without all of you. Much of the fun was sharing with the folks who enjoy it most!

Here's a size comparison between the bantams and the Cinnamon Queen X EE chick.

Hondo:

Congratulations on your sucessful hatch. Going back to the beginning of this thread and watching the development of the eggs to the hatched chicks was totally engrossing.

I also liked your idea about the ramp in the brooder. I think I'll steal that idea from you if any of my chicks hatch. It was day 10 yesterday and when I candled them 3 were a no-go. But......that means 12 are developing

I'm so excited.
