That's fantastic IM! Makes me want to hatch eggs again...I haven't hatched any since our kids little!

Thanks, it really is actually but we'll see how it goes. These eggs were shipped from FL to AZ last week.

I told you hanging out here would be trouble!

At least I have until next spring when I get more chicks before I'm truly in trouble...

Are you sure that you will be able to stand the torture of not getting anymore until then?

I will have to, well, maybe, I don't know...

I'll have to wait until after my youngest group of pullet's are old enough to lay egg's big enough to hatch. I want to see what the "Rock/Dork's" will produce as a cross. I have 2 of the White Rock's, so I can give one of them to Bigfoot, and one to the SGD cockerel that I haven't named yet.

The A.C. one above look's pullet to me. I see what look's like the cushion padding before the tail on the back. The hen at the bottom look's alot like what my female SGD chick's are supposed to look like as adult's.

Yup that's Cuckoo, Dorking Red Ranger mix I think. The chicks are feathering out and the hens are molting all at the same time, at least we'll get it over with. I agree the AC there could be a pullet but that's an optical illusion, the cushion padding is the rest of the down coming off as the feathers come in. They're feathering out fairly slowly in the heat. I'll be posting more pics though and try to get their pics while they're outside.

I read that with the SGD's you can tell for sure what sex that they are by the time that they are 5 to 6 week's old. By then the males will have the black chest feathering, but not the girl's.
