Ok, who wants to guess at the sex of my chicks? I would like your professional opinions!
Chick #1. Blue Marans. I suspect pullet.


Chick #2 Blue Marans. I suspect roo.


Chick #3. My funky, mangy looking black orpington. I suspect a roo.


Chick #4. Blue Marans. I suspect roo.


And, last but not least, Chick #5, my olive egger. I suspect a pullet.


I know it's really early to tell, but let me know what y'all think! Thanks!

Anyone use Sand? I read that someone has a mister with deep layer of sand on the ground beneath it. The moisture goes into the sand keeping it cool which cools off the birds when they sit in it. It sounds like a cool idea. I think I may try it.

dont forget fleas love to breed in sand

Sorry for the goat pictures. Hope not getting anyone mad. I just have to share this exceptional picture I snapped yesterday! I must first tell you that when the goats are going to have babies most of the time they are separated from the herd but many times they do have one friend that stays with them that is also PG. When you put the herd back together they spar to decide who will be boss. Kate for the first time wanted to be boss and she sparred with the first and second in command for that right. Now they seldom hurt each other, more of a order in the herd that has to be done. I think this is a awesome picture!


this is a cute picture Fuzzybird

I will post pictures when all is done and dryed and look cute. Don't like to desturb any more than I have to. Goes to show you humidity is not all that important. It was only in the 30s most of the time. The bator is a still air also. I think the turn table made the differance in hatching this time.
Oh and just looked 4 + 5 are pipping!
