Last night I candled the eggs that were collected from Citrons group and put in the incubator on the 31st.
There is development going on.
fingers crossed.

Peppermint, your 'penguin' doesn't quite look like my mottled chicks. The gold trim around the eyes makes me think there's some red in that babe. It will be interesting seeing what colors it has when it feathers out. Please post a new set of pictures in a couple of weekd, please?

You got it!

"She" does have gold trim around the eyes, so we'll see how she feathers out. I'll send a pic to the breeder and see what she thinks and let you know.

These are my new Porcelain d'Uccles chicks. Any guess on gender?
I think theres one male and one female.

I hope so!
Is it ok to keep them in pairs, or is trios better?

Try for 1 boy & 2 girls so that if something happens you won't have a lonely chicken, plus the roo can spread love instead of wearing the one gal out. Plus d'uccles like to go broody.
