I think we have a roo... what do you think? The other one looks the same only smaller. I was hoping for a pullet

Last picture is chest feathers starting to come in.

Oh yes little boy!

Pretty sure mine is too. Would be fine if he weren't frizzled. :/

They are so cute though!
I was hoping for a pullet. Oh well. I told my son we'd search for more eggs in the spring and hopefully have better luck

Didn't you have 2 to hatch? Or get some from the feed store?

I have 11 in one incubator locking down tomorrow, 6 new ones set yesterday, in another bator.

The day 17 set also has seramas, the new set has OEGBs and lav orps.

We had only 2 hatch out of 4 that developed.
So for our cochins we now have 2 LF partridge cockerels. 1 buff bantam roo and 1 white bantam hen.
Sounds like you will be overrun with chicks soon! Good luck!

He is a cute little one.

Last night my first fertility check hatched. Now to go pluck some birds and get the other varieties breeding too. Does not matter that I have done this for years. Nothing makes me happier than new lambs and new chicks hatching. I have set some to hatch the morning after my grandsons come for spring break. THey will get to help me work with the new chicks and gather eggs on the breeder pens!
