Ok, so I am addicted! I had set 6 BCM eggs with my last hatch and sadly 3 were early quitters and the other 3 were clear. I have BCM fever so I contacted a local breeder and went on a road trip today to get these babies. 300 miles and 11 BCM chicks later I am pretty confident I have a few screws loose. Anywho...meet my 11 new little BCM's from Linda Hamid. They vary in age from 1.5 weeks to just hatched today.

I dont have a trained eye or anything but it looks like I have a lot of roos

Anyone have any guesses how many? I didnt get to pick my chicks as Linda sells them straight-run and these little ones were all the hatched ones she had. Oh well, I guess it just gives me more of a "selection" to choose from for my own breeding program.

If anyone in the Bay Area is interested in a little roo later on PM me

Adorable! Congrats!

I have 2 6 week old pullets and I thought 1 was a roo for a while because of the comb growth. I had a 3rd in there though that was definite boy, and he was rehomed to a lady that wanted him for breeding.

I don't see any evidence of roosters yet. By 4 weeks, I could mostly tell. (except for the 1 little pullet, she kept me guessing for a while)

Thanks so much! It gives me hope!!

I have 2 older ones (7wks old) from eggs I bought off of ebay and you could tell the same day who was who...and now there is no mistaking who the little roo is.

Keep your fingers crossed for me!
