6th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2015 Hatch-A-Long

[FuzzyHens]

She is second generation on father's side and third generation on the hen's side. Mother looks just like her, black & brown with beard & cheeks. Dad is a blue wheaten.

Her coloring is really pretty!

How is she auto-sexing? Probably above my head lol.

No, not above your head!! I winged & vent checked her.

I thought I got my hand slapped. LOL!

There were several pictures that would have been good for the cute chick contest.

They are very nice looking!

I have 2 chicks, and 2 pips!

For those not hearing anything: the ONLY peeps I've heard at all were when #2 hatched. I'm loving these babies, lol. Are Brahmas known to be super quiet?

Oh!! .. Here I was trying to sex-link that cross!! Well.. You are better than I if you can vent/feather sex that well. Takes me a week or so to start making guesses.

Speaking of genetics.. Anyone know what kinds of characteristics I might expect from my chicks? Both moms are feed store "Ameraucanas" (so EE), and dad is BLRW.

One hen is multi with beard and muffs:

The other is black base with white hackles/specks.

Sorry, I have no idea! But I just wanted to say that your hen is absolutely STUNNING! I LOVE her coloring! It is beautiful!

Cool, love BLRWs especially with my mission to get APA to recognize them
