Ralph - we need pics of the newest additions, since they are going to disappear quickly

My BR eggs are supposed to ship tomorrow.

Would like to have them by thurs and set them on sat.

OK R2elk....what's the verdict on the boys? I still think you should stack them on a table so we get a good look at them !

These toms are so close that any one of them would be an acceptable breeding tom. The center one in the photo is by a very slight margin the biggest one. He is the dominant one and also is by a couple of days the oldest one. The one on the right is by a few ounces slightly smaller and has never challenged the dominant one and is just a couple of days younger. At one time he was the biggest but not anymore.

The one in the back is a couple of weeks younger than the other two and recently replaced the one on the right in the pecking order. I would be more inclined to put this on the table than a turkey who by the way have never been in the house since they were hen hatched.

Oh that pie is killing me!

They are beautiful birds! I still like the middle one.

I think I am selling them too cheap. I cannot find them even close to what I am selling them for,,,,DUMB me!



The egg I was worried about hatched in about 10 minutes about 20 minutes after I said I was worried!

Maybe you shoulda said you were worried earlier.

These babies are from 1/18. Less than 2 week old Dominiques and already tons of feathers. Pics are from friday and saturday.

Chaos, they look great.

 

[Chaos18]

Thanks. They've been lotsa fun. Even at two weeks old they are very friendly and curious.

I've always heard good things about Doms. Can you tell rooster vs hen ratio? Are they auto-sexed?

They are supposed to be auto-sexing (to a certain degree) although I have no clue what I'm doing.

Sexing info is:

I think I have 4 B and 2 G but when they hatched I thought it was 4 G and 2 B..........like I said no clue what I'm doing.
