Crockpot (slow cooker) incubator - take 2

Chest feathers are starting to come in... and so far the eyeliner visual sexing trait is proving true to sex

Visually sexed females looking to be female at 3 weeks (day old chicks with clean markings)
no black in initial chest feathers



Visually sexed males looking to be male at 3 weeks(day old chicks with blurry markings)

you can see black in the initial neck feathers..

I was lazy and didn’t take a photo of all of them since they all look the same to me




One of the visually sexed males is still unknown because the neck feathers have yet to come in, chances of it being a pullet is pretty slim though!

raining today, and this birb is not smart enough to take her kids back to the coop... I guess at she can still fit 6 four-week olds under herself, lol.

Ugly 5wo dinosaur! 2 females and five males... visual sexing for these bantams have been very much on point It looks like they’ll be a little on the larger side for banties, we’ll see.


Paint’s crest is coming back in. I may just let her keep it for winter...


d’uccle is looking more hen like by the day Her boots have been clipped to half length, less tripping over herself...
