@chiqita
  I checked under DefCon5 (the cuckoo maran grumpybutt broody) and there's a wet chick (silver & yellow) and another one zipping. Yay!
She wouldn't let me see much else without getting her back up.
Nothing yet under the silkie (who has just silkie/showgirls).

Chicks!! Huzzah!

Well...my Genesis did NOT get here today like it was supposed to.

Here is the scanning history:

4/09/2014 - Wednesday 1:29 am Departed FedEx location ELLENWOOD, GA -

4/08/2014 - Tuesday 2:04 pm Arrived at FedEx location ELLENWOOD, GA -

4/07/2014 - Monday 9:24 pm Arrived at FedEx location SAVANNAH, GA 3:02 pm Picked up SAVANNAH, GA -

4/04/2014 - Friday 2:33 pm Shipment information sent to FedEx


As you can see...labeled 3 days before it actually was picked up in Savannah, GA......arrived in Ellenwood, GA the next day, then departed a day later....then nothing for 2 days. It was supposed to be here today!!!! I had to set the Mottled AM eggs under 2 broodies so they would not be too old by the time it gets here. I called FedEx about 9 AM to find out what was going on. They, of course, knew nothing...just repeated what the tracking showed, but said they would put a trace on it. I called back at 3 and it had not even been assigned to anyone to trace!. Talked to a supervisor and she was able to trace it. She said it is arriving a day later than promised and should be delivered tomorrow. I hope the eggs will be OK!!!

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH.....OK...done venting now

Ok - so here are the 6 chicks. All were marked as chocolate orpington:

5 have barred markings on their wings & yellow spots on their head - the one at top right is the one with no barring but more yellow on the chest, no head spot. I think that's a pullet too.


This pic is better of their combs. The black-wing chick is now 2nd from the left.
Now I notice some difference it their leg/foot color - 2 are more grey & the other 4 are more pink. Gaah!
Confused...

@chiqita Put on my thick gloves and braved DefCon5 again - 2 showgirls (1 yellow & 1 silver/yellow) & 1 Bresse hatched so far & more pips. Yay!!

leg color can change in many breeds. Chocolate ? They look barred? If there barred they look like boys and 1 girl to me. Hope I'm wrong
