I have some baby pics from the 3 week weigh in of the Naked Neck (Tank as daddy) x GNH cross. The boys are pretty big, nice cross. At three weeks, 10 to almost 12 oz. Seriously heavier than they look - little bricks. (They are also active little hoodlums in the brooder, but that's another issue.)








And here's a nice sized definite pullet (8.82oz):


(I need a better photo box....)

SO sorry. But don't give up - you may be able to get some to hatch. Wash the yolk from the uncracked ones by following the "washing eggs" instructions very carefully (from the links at the beginning of the thread - bleach solution at the right temperature), then let them rest with big end upright for a day, then incubate upright with gentle turning - see the notes for shipped eggs and funky air cells. I got this: And got 7 healthy live chicks out of it (with help from this thread). [COLOR=B42000] [/COLOR] [COLOR=B42000] [/COLOR]

Is that a cupcake tray? And those are really pretty birds!
