Wendell, I'm gonna need your girls to send my girls a letter (or written warning) that if they can lay in the cold up there, my girls should have no problem here in SC with the 70 degree days...just sayin' LOL

I keep records of everything, so we should have a good idea as to whether it was temperatures or inexperienced roosters.... LOL

37 eggs collected so far plus what we get today will go in this afternoon.[/quote]

Scratch that..... 41 eggs went in yesterday.

And sometimes foot size.

Yes! forgot that one. All of those combined "usually" tell us what gender they are. Of course, sometimes you get surprised.

I think I will cut down a white 5 gallon bucket and make it into a "studio" for photographing chicks. Should be fun...

My neighbor is so nice! As soon as she heard that I lost my Buff O and Australorp in the past few months, due to being egg bound

, she gave me a couple of her Dominique girls

. They are so cute, but they have quite a squawk on em'. Maybe once they settle in, they will quiet down a bit, but it's ok if they don't. The are beautiful little girls.

W. Smith:  What are the chances that you would post some close ups of your chicks, especially the head spots so we can practice gender id.????

Here you go. I came up with 4 cockerels and 6 pullets, my oldest daughter thinks its 5/5.

I concur. Preference though is to see head spot from dorsal aspect.

Maybe someone could hold each one and you can add a top shot to those already shared... unless you don't know which one is which.
