So we ordered 3 Easter egger hatching eggs got and 7 extras, 6/10 eggs hatched and I'm wondering about breeds/genders. chicks 2 and 6 hatched Jan 6th the rest on the 7th
What was posted in the other sales the eggs came from:
Possible mix Easter Eggers, Orpington, Silkie, Serama, Speckled Sussex, Cochin, Golden Laced Polish, Salmon faverolles, bantams, Light Brahma, Maran, Blue laced red wyandotte, red,white or calico frizzle.
first 3 have feathered feet while the last 3 don't
#1 This first chick is the only one I'm 100% sure is pullet, only chick that has 5 toes. suspecting salmon faverolle X ? maybe light brahma? not sure what all the brown markings are from.
Also is this the start of scissor beak/cross beak? she seems to have a little hard time eating mealworms beyond the first bite(missing and biting my finger trying to get the mealworm). second picture on second row is from February 11th. eats fine otherwise; i don't care how it affects her looks i just want to know if this will effect if she's able to eat or not in the future.
#2 suspecting light brahma x ? was thinking roo because of the pinkish comb but the tail feathers seem very roundish. biggest chick
#3 This one was the only Easter egger egg to hatch, not sure what breed the frizzle parent is, suspecting roo; spars the most along with #2
#4 my favorite along with the first chick, thinking BLRW because of the blue, not sure about the other side. didn't really want to sit still for pics.
does pointy tail feathers always mean roo? i really want this one to be pullet. biggest chick next to #2
#5 obviously roo has had a bigger comb/reddish since 2.5-3 weeks. looked exactly like #4 as a chick so thinking BLRW mix too? looks like a different parent for the other half
#6 maran, not sure if full maran but looks like maybe?
thanks in advance to any answers
