Very nice start!
Question, in first pic the chick on the left has little white wingtips... was that the only one, or were there 2 that had those?
I am just curious, testing a theory I have/heard about... I have had leakage crop up in my own as well, but so far this generation, I didn't toe punch a single chick with those traits and haven't seen any leakage in any of the cockerels *so far*

Cuties!
They are so cute, I want to melt... okay so here is a funny story, I was on BYC for East. WA- N.Idaho thread(we really should be one state, separate from WA, and ID) any how I was chatting with a gal from ID and showed her pics of my gray eggs, and she showed me pic of Ayam cemani chickens. I wanted AC chicks she said she had a friend in ID who sells AC eggs, I told her I would drive 5 hrs and do a trade, so we did. (I home incubated, but was away for a few days and they didn't hatch, my fault) Now 2 years later I looked up on Ebay eggs I wanted, and the lady who supplied the eggs my friend gave to me is selling me eggs
Too funny!
It is 5 degrees outside, and she refuses to leave the nest (which I guess is a good thing). She is a stubborn little broody!
It is if she has eggs under her!So, Blackberry is still broody

When she gets off the nest to eat and drink, some of the other girls will lay in the nest she has been sitting on. I gather the eggs in the evening, and the cycle continues the next morning
Do you think they'll hatch? May end up with a bunch of momma's for em if they do..Well, she has a few....

Not a bad thing I suppose..
If I leave them there long enough, they would probably hatch. A few days ago I was gathering eggs, and wondered if they might be fertile (I have 4 very active cockerels). So I cracked them all open, and about 7/8 had bulls-eyes!
