I need help ~ Are these pullets or roo's?

[speckledhen]

Hey, Steff, just a thought here....did you have any incubation issues, like a temperature spike, when you incubated these eggs? The reason I ask is that it's a fact that when that happens and embryos die off, they are usually the pullets who perish. The cockerels are a bit tougher, generally.

I commend you for their improved color in the faces. You did well!

Hey, you have my luck! Last hatch of Silkies, I had 10 roos out of 12. I hope I have better luck next time.

I don't think that there were really any temp issues with that hatch. Who know's why it happened. I am just happy that they are looking better. I have 2 of the 5 that are looking tremendous!!! They really are turning out to be beautiful cockerels. The other 3 still can improve. I have the one little one that is just so stumpy. But he really is cute. Cyn, I will let you know when I am ready for some eggs. Thank you for all your help!!
