Awwww! Such cuties!!!!! I have a mess of wheatens and lavs hatching now, but I SUCK at taking pics of small things. Still waiting for Crystalcreek to come to TN for a photo shoot!

I've a batch of blues and blacks from WM hatching right now.

I can't wait until they fluff! Eight made it to lockdown, and 3 are out, I can see 2 more pips.

I really hope they all hatch and I get a few more pullets this time!

All I have been hatching are shipped eggs this spring, and right now my roos out number the pullets 3 to one!

FYI: I'm auctioning buff eggs at bidbird.

Howdy,
I appreciate the thoughts. I only got two lavenders from JB (yes, don't castigate me. first time buying day old chicks and not thinking straight...!), and the one I was asking about...just overnight it become clear that it is a boy. As I only got two, that thought is over. I have two lovely, lovely Wheaten pullets, and will try to get a boy for them in a few months (Jeremy, pay back time!!

), but am overwhelmed right now. From that small Blehm order, I will be keeping the two very nice Wheaten pullets, the better Silver pullet, and the stunning White cockerel. Ended up with a random Chantecler from him as well and I really can't tell what that bird is: M or F!!

How do these 9-week olds seem?

Here are the Wheatie chicas:

and goofball Silver pullet:

Teenage skin showing!

Very nice! I love the leg color on that first pullet!

Oh my...such beautiful birds! I don't post much on the thread but I do come here often to look at the pictures. I have two 4-week-olds that I want to post soon for help with gender id. I'm thinking both are roos

but I also have 4 EEs with 2 being definite hens and 2 roos (they are 5 weeks old).

I just love Ameraucana's.

Chickies from Jean. Absolutely adorable and with such poofy cheeks. Thanks Jean!

An especially cute little splash:

My WM blues and blacks have hatched, and they are really cute!! I have 3 blues and 4 blacks, and one more egg cooking in the incubator.

First two blues, my favorite color!

This pic is of my biggest (a blue) and the littlest, a black. The black was a total surprise, I thought that egg was a dud!

All the baby combs look very wide to me, I am afraid nearly all of them are roos again!

What a year for roos!

They are so cute

Thanks for sharing and I

that you get more pullets than roos!
