Fertile eggs?

[Cool_Catrules456]

I gave the family member I gave the cockerel to some eggs from the leghorn, plus some other hens. They should be on day 6 tomorrow. I am going over there. So I may candle them. I will update you though! (Some of the eggs where past 14 days. So low hatch rate is comfirmed.) but we shall see.

I gave the family member 12 white eggs and 6 brown eggs, I could not see into the brown eggs, but the white eggs only had 2 fertile ones.

Wallnut or rose? Or is it still too early to tell?

I cannot tell. I'm generally not good at telling those two apart anyway, but it might become clear as the chick gets older.

Heres an upper body picture, had to hold them, as they wont stay still. At all.

Ah, alright. Thank you anyways!

The younger chicks are three weeks old, the geay orpington chick is giving me pullet vibs. All the feaghers on the tail are round, no sign of sattle or hackle feathers. No growth on the comb at all, (ive had ealy cockerels before)

even if Im wrong andthey turn out to be a cockerel, they still are pretty.

Just looked at some old pictures of him, does his tail look blue? If so does that mean he carries blue/lavender? Or is it just a weird gray?

I would expect blue or lavender to affect all the "black" parts (like the streaks in his hackles), so I'm not sure what to think. It also looks to me like his tail may be in shadow in that photo, which can make colors look different, although I'm not entirely sure.

I made a new thread to help sex the 5 week old chick, (so far a pullet yay) they said he was a splash. So I don’t know, I know blue can look black in certain lighting, and black can look kinda blue, but this does not look like black to blue, it looks like blue to black. Normally it would be just a small shine. This feels like its blue, but we shall see with the chicks, if its blue instad of black, we will know with the white chick.
