I had 24 eggs go on lockdown on the 13th, yesterday and today I have 16 chicks running around in the bator. I still don't know what breed they are but all are yellow right now and i am about to transfer to the brooder. this is my first ever hatching and I'm well pleased with the out come is 16 out of 24 a pretty good rate?

Checked the 16 babies this morning, they are running around every where all drinking and eating and looking healthy, on a bad note I lost one guinea keet last night they are a month old and it looks like they piled up and crushed or smothered one, i thought they were old enought o handle the cool weather a little better. Well this is all a learning experence for me so I learned.

If it's any consolation to you, my cockerel tends to throw a lot of pullets so there is a good chance you have a pullet there. Fingers crossed for you anyways!

Congrats to everyone else and their new fuzzy butts!

Is it the cockerel that decieds what the sex is going to be or is it something when the chicks form?
