5, days till lockdown.

Anyone have predictions on how the chicks may look?(Just for fun).

 

[MysteryChicken]

I've just got done looking at the eggs, & I'm not 100% sure yet, but I think we may have 1, that may hatch early. I see movement where the Aircell is, which is where I shouldn't be seeing movement yet.

I'll keep an eye on it.

Is long the father for all of them?

No, he may have fathered the last two. I bred Smarty Pants to Long after I collected the first 4 eggs.

I think the chicks will be black with a little bit of leakage from other colors in their chick fluff. Curious about the mix proportions.

Very possible.

Like the traits they show as they get older?

Both, haven't learned chicken genetics yet, but I think red leakage on some, especially on the wings. Also maybe a few with long necks or long legs, some funny looking chickens. Maybe for the chicks mostly black with some grey chest down.

I expect a couple to be lanky, possibly blue from Long's side.

The red leakage will be very possible. Smarty Pants has some, plus being bred to Long, it should be more extreme.
