Adding to the chicky chant!

Mine are at that point where the chicks in the eggs are giving off heat and making my bator run hotter.

I've got 2 hatched and 9 or 10 more pipped and working!

Chickytocks, did you say you know how to sex the Cuckoo Marans this young?

 

[Chicky Tocks]

Egggsciting! Yes, I've been doing lots of reading up on this! Sexing the cuckoos and barred rocks and domineques works all the same.

The silvery ones with big headspots are cockerels. If the headspot spreads out and possibly down the neck, it tends to be male.

The females will have a tight little yellow spot on their head and will be a lot blacker than the males. Look at the first pic in this link. There are two cockerels in this pic.

Congratulations on the Cuckoo M's!

We finally have one Golden Cuckoo. Looks like a rooster, I think? I'll know when it dries out. There are 4 more pips now.
