August Hatch-A-Long

[CluckNDoodle]

They're bielefelder's lol. They can't be slower than my ducks though haha. I had gotten excited with how fast the first one came out.

Lol! True! NOTHING is slower than waterfowl! ... maybe an emu or an ostrich but I'll have to get back to you on that. Lol

You're a bit far for that ha ha otherwise I would! "No honey, I don't know why that chickens so weird looking... Of course it's a chicken!"

My three BBS chicks may all be boys but I can’t tell yet. Their 2.5 week old combs look a liiiiiiiittle suspicious.

In exciting news, I’m feeling at least 60% that both my line wheaten marans and my lone Silverudd are girls!!! The wheaten has no comb development, a good tail, and NO black on her wing feathers at all. I just have a feeling about the Silverudd. It’s the fastest feathered out of the whole hatch.

Also of note, the splash coloring is very pretty on the Silverudd. The base is more of a lavender color.

Broody is doing wonderful headed into her last few days! (Hatch date: Saturday overnight) she asks to be let out of her pen once in the morning to run and eat grass with everyone and once around lunchtime to dust bathe.

So close! I can't wait to see your broody with her fluffy little chicks!
I'm still watching my True Blues and Frosted Legbar, so far nothing is jumping out screaming rooster of those 4 but one of the True Blues has a suspicious tail, lol. They want nothing to do with me, so much so that it's hard to get close enough to take pictures, much less pick them up for a thorough investigation. I may have to grab them in the morning before I let them out to see if anyone is a rooster.

LOL! It's going to happen eventually I just need to find a home for it first!

I never even asked.

They're barnyard mixes, no pens setup, everyone running together. But I can find out what the options are. I can't believe I never asked.

Oh that tail is a little suspicious.

Since ALL of your Mottled Orps were boys I'm hoping you got ALL girl True Blues.

I need to get a photo of that Brahma with the eye issue. She is doing well. You can ABSOLUTELY tell by behavior one of the brahmas i hatched is a for sure boy. I am giving them all to a friend, and regretting that decision. They're SO CUTE and different. Like little heavyweight lifters.

I'm hoping they're all girls too. We shall see!
Brahmas are like teddy bears! They're right up there with Orpingtons in the big, fluffy, sweet chicken department! You'll just have to hatch some more for yourself now, lol.
