Crowing
I just hatched a clutch of eggs containing 4 olive eggers(BCM X EE) I have read various articles that seem to conflict on how to sex them. Some say spot on head some say pin feather length, tail development, down color, etc. I imagine that the answer is it depends on the parent stock since it’s a mix breed not a true standard breed.
Anyway one of the 4 eggs hatched 2 days ago still waiting on the other 3 but starting to lose hope not seeing any progress or hearing any chirps. My wife has really fallen in love with this one and will be heartbroken if it’s a male. We already have more cockerels than recommended but they a still young enough that the hormones haven’t hit them real hard yet so they are playing nice for now.
