So exciting!
I know I will love her whatever - but sounds like I should be looking for copper hackles and beard/muffs.
I need to get a close up of the clean-legged black one who is an Ameraucana.
In all the excitement of you getting chicks have you thought about the possibility of potential boys? I know the legbars are supposed to be auto-sexing at hatch. What about the welbar? We for sure will have to very closely monitor the 2 black chicks combs as those are not auto-sexing. Miss Tassels being a olive egger could have another tell-tale sign to watch out for. Watch her shoulders and back closely, even if there is no large comb forming 5 weeks on look for copper coloring coming in. Hackle copper good, back and shoulder/wing copper bad. The pure black Ameraucuana will be tricky and will probably have to base it off of comb alone until it is old enough to look for saddle feathers.
 
Ill pay tax in a minute....medical rant. So the right side of my lower back is in pain and I cant walk. I have a neck ablation on the 11th. Two more drs. appts. on the 15th and a gastric emptying on the 26th that is 4 hours long then colonoscopy an the 30th. So many appts. I am quiting the lithium this week to see if its making me sick and going back on my Latuda.
I hope you get well soon.

Didn’t RC say they were sexed as pullets? I could be wrong and frequently am!

That's agony , mine is more on the left but both sides are not good at all. It's getting that I have to now take less risks.

I hope you can keep perserving, please don't give up, then contradicting what I just said, please know when too stop.

I'm pleased you have your dh there to support you :hugs

As for the pain and stomach medications I used to take, they caused so many internal problems that I ended up having a major operation they caused so much trouble.

Plus the fact is I found for my neck joints and spine, the pain medication just didn't help at all in the end. I sort of got used to them
