My black orp just hatched chicks 3 days ago

I'm thinking my araucana I got from you, Colt, is a pullet. I'll get a picture when I get back, but when I left, there was still no pink, and I think her color pattern is a female one.

I wish my Swedish flower hens would brood but absolutely not interested. Ah well.

I highly doubt they'll go broody.

That's a big hen.

Or a very small boy. lol

Doesn't look like a boy but not familiar with English Orps.

That’s so cool! How many eggs did she have hatch?

2 out of 5, unfortunately 2 didn't make it fully out and died and 1 herniated really bad and I had to cull it. The whole hatch was a BS mess, but I'm thankful for the 2 healthy littles boogers she's got! She's turning out to be a great broody!

Damn…It’s been running triple digit temps all over here and the humidity is intense as eff…

I just checked on my broody hens and so far there are 4 chicks that have hatched and still a bunch more eggs to go:

I feel your pain woman! Surprisingly the humidity here has been lower than usual, but definitely hot as 2 rats @#$% in a wool sock
