I promise I won't cheat. Weekly photos? Would that work? or do you want less or more? Let me know and I will do what I can for you.

LOL! You're killing me on purpose now, aren't you? It's going to be SO HARD to not come home with a whole flock!

Oh no. I will make sure to keep post photos regularly as we go so you guys will be able to keep track.


Oh, no problem. Sounds like fun and I learn points as I go along. We kinda all win in the long run. New friends, someone gets babies, and I get LOTS of learning.

LOL....incredible babies. what are the big chicks? I have lavendar orps getting ready to hatch also...I was a little concerned "housing" them together...maybe they will all be okay if everyone else does it.

They are either Black Copper Marans, Easter Eggers (most likely), or 'yard bird' mutts. The bigger white and blue chicks are silkies.

4312 should put a zip tie or leg band (or zip tie) on the little birdie in question and keep everyone updated with photos.

Feather sexing can only be done on certain breeds...I have no idea which breeds those are!

Weekly should work, should be able to tell within a few weeks

To bigb-71: I hope you have some good ones picked out...aside from blue, mottled is my favorite variety...I know mottled when I see it

ETA: Plus, of the 19 Serama chicks I hatched then, only 2 were mottled. This one:

and this one:

If you have any spare barred or blue, get them ready for their new home

I will do. Just went and checked on baby. I have an orp pipping. I guess mine are going to just be housed together. I figured I would have to keep the seramas in the house for the winter.
