I don't even remember. It was Carly who was the last to lay and yep, it was around that late for her. All of them were over 40 weeks, though. I thought Carly was trying to go broody today. There won't be any hens left for the boys in there! She was on a nest, one she never lays in, screaming at everyone. Then, my Cochin decided she had to lay, so apparently, she pushed Carly out and laid in there because I found her egg under Carly later and Carly didn't lay at all. I hope she isn't working up to broody. If she is, I just ought to move all of them, chicks in tow, back into the coop. Good grief.

Yeah, I thought the oddball chick was looking more normal as he was feathering out. I hope I have at least one or two pullets in this group. That would be enough, really, which was my goal, to add just a couple in addition to a Coch'Anver pullet or two, so the males would have enough girls to go around.


Looks like Angus is moving up in rank. I saw him literally knock Aubrey into the side of the coop today so I think he's bucking for second place in the group rather than dead last. Rufus is still head honcho, though.

no problem Do,

Yes Cynthia, I have to agree with JJ too early to tell yet. These buggers can fool even me with the iffy ones.

The last one is a proper colored one for sure and a male for sure. With all the black stippling in the back of the odd ball... I'm still not sure. Will feel better when I see a white dot. But with that black on the back, for now at least I'm gonna say pullet. It may prove me wrong here in a few weeks, but has a pullet color scheme going on for now. Most all male milles start out with a heavy orange color usually with a clean back, that's the only reason I say pullet for now

I was lookin at the d'Anvins. My mother raised me to look past the physical deformaties,because they cant help it. Even showgirls don't have a choice what they look like.
