You mean that isn't a BCM?     No really...... that is a little Bielefelder....well the word "little" doesn't apply to Bielefelders.

Oh, ok. The chipmunk stripe threw me

A little pullet. Autosexing. Wish it was so easy to tell with BCMs. I am letting you know right now that I think I have 6 pullets in my new batch of BCMs. If it works out I will let you know why I guessed that.

I'll tell you right now that all of mine are girls. I call them all that until they prove me wrong

I would like to see a side picture. From what I see he has a very narrow back, notice that his back width tapers from front to back. I believe he also has a short back causing the high tail set. The Hackle look more like a Wheaten than a BC Marans. Comb is extra large and is not wanted ,

May all your chicks be girls. A new blessing!

Bonne chance a vous duex! I have 12 new chicks..... I will post pictures soon. Anxious to hear from you both and Snowman when it is time to give them the once over!

Sorry I had your name wrong Snowbird. It must have been a subconscious slip. I am a Floridian and I never considered it a polite term! I will correct my post!

I'm sure Don has been called much, much worse

I say that only half jokingly. Any time I walk up on a brooder full of chicks, my salutation is "Hey girls!"

I can take individual pictures later, but the wind is howling this morning so I'm not taking them out. Here's the current group at 12 days. I think two of them are several days older





A few are a little dark, but not as dark as my first chicks. One is a little mossy, but most have way more white look than my first batch.
Thoughts?

Those look great SC. Exactly how mine looked when I got them. That side by side shows an amazing difference.

Don asked for weekly pictures, and you know how I love posting pictures, so we'll all get to watch them grow
Get any good shots of your cockerel yet?
