So, out of my 9 eggs, I now have 6 babies. They hatched on from late Sunday 05/30 and through Tuesday morning 06/01. One egg never started, one died in shell quite late, and one hatched but, alas, died (it was crippled, couldn't walk, I believe the term is perosis).
They were "Calico Sweetgrass/Royal Palm" eggs I bought off of ebay.
They are beginning to get wing feathers. As hatchlings, they were all a pale, "butter yellow" color.
5 of the 6 are showing color variations in the growing wing feathers, shades of tans and browns. However, one of them is appears to be only solid, pale butter yellow coming in. Of course, at 7-8 days old, its' hard to really tell.
But, is it possible this one bird will be all white or pale and a solid color?
Not that it matters to me. Just curious.
