Really cute! Great hatch rate as well. Congrats!

That's super @bumpercarr ! They are lovely! Maybe we have both broken through our altitude hatch curse. I had 8/8 hatch this last incubation. 8 due this weekend...

It looks like I've got 14/15. 13 are out and one is almost there. The 15th one doesn't show any signs.

I solved my high altitude problem by getting a new incubator and buying the auto humidity control that came with it. I cringed at the price, but considering how many eggs I set last year and how bad my hatch rate was, I decided it was probably worth it.

Please tell me that this is a pullet. Her feet are super thick now....like the males.

This chick is 3 weeks old.

 

[SD Bird Lady]

Not 100% guarantee.... But any of mine that feather that slowly are usually males.

This is my buff brahma bantam pullet at 3 weeks
