F1xMille Fleur x F2 eggs are hatching!

Sadly one of the F1Mille Fleur x F1Mille Fleur chicks randomly just died yesterday. Don’t know what was wrong.

And surprise the Silkies eggs are hatching too. Keeper (same crossing) It looks like a baby BigFoot! I’ll try to find a baby pic of her to compare this one too. Could be BigFoots baby.

Edit: there was one egg that didn’t hatch. It was the only buff colored one.

What makes you decide on what to keep and sell?

This year I am being very strict about what I keep. If the feet feathering is good, feathering on the middle toe, then the chicks get to stay longer to see how their color developes.
