Hatched my shipped eggs

[Cluckingtime]

So I hatched out 7 of my 16 shipped eggs.. my end result is....

F2 olive egger... looks like BCM
F3 olive egger... looks like BCM
2 whiting true blue... one all gray but the bottom of belly is yellowish/white other looks like BCM
One EE... looks like BCM with beard and cheeks
1 lavender Orpington and one that appears to be possibly a crele Orpington

So looks like a BCM was included in almost all of this person breeding projects so I will have a lot of BCM laying green eggs hahaha

Are Crele orpingtons auto sexing or sex linked?

Here are my photos of the shipped hatching egg chicks.. 3 pics of each..

first we have a fluffier one.. hard to see in the pictures but it's fluffier then all the other chick's with obvious BCM in it.. I believe this one was my f2 OE... I do know the seller had silkies.. do you think it may have some silkie somewhere in it's genetics?

Next we have my orpington.. seems people think it's a crele? With the dot on head does that make it cockrell or the darker coloring make it cockrell? Or is there no way to know til it's older?

This is my Lavender Orpington..

This is suppose to be my whiting true blue, or one of them... feathered feet bit didn't want its picture taken lol

My EE.. definitely has puffy cheeks and beard.. noticed that pretty quick right out of egg.. feathered feet and BCM dominant

This one is suppose to be my f3 OE.. also BCM dominant.. feathered feet

And last but not least.. the runt.. my other WTB.. also BCM dominant.. had a bit of a hard time coming out of the egg.. was malpositioned with wing over head.. I was able to minimally help

I hope this makes everyone's day brighter they are all doing wonderfully tho I am slightly disappointed in my hatch rate as well as variety from seller, I am pleased these guys are doing well and are so cute!

How are the chickies doing? I would love to add F2+ olive eggers to my flock!

They are all doing splendidly! I will have to get pictures. I'll try tomorrow or Friday. Their looks are changing so much. I already have a couple favorites lol and I'm pretty sure some are Cockrell ugh.. we will see tho!

Well an update on my shipped egg chick's!

First one is an orpington.. I believe it to be a crele and a cockrell

Second is my favorite one lol just love the coloring feathers coming in on the chest. This is the one I was curious about the feathering from the start.. Maran in it for sure tho.. I believe this is my first OE

This one is the OE looks similar to the last one tho not the same color on the chest

This my whiting true blue..

This is my other whiting thrue blue

This is the Easter Egger

And last but not least is my lavender orpington

Maybe if you are so inclined, and have any idea, maybe try to sex them for me? Lol
