Well, since these are almost all males, and the guy that was suppose to pick them up today (postponed from last Friday) called and said he is not ready for them .... Send me your address.

Just make sure to enclude some females

Well, if someone doesn't claim them this week ..... they will be processed. I do not have the room to keep them all.

After yesterday I'm going through adorable fuzzy withdrawls so I'm perusing more of hte pics I took yesterday and this morning. Some of my whites look like they were playing with splatter paints

I think this one is a pullet

I think this one might be a roo, I'll have to get better pics so Kelly can tell me.

Now I'm so good, I can sex day olds?

I can sorta tell some of mine that are a week old now (well some of them are-they hatched Tues-Friday last week) by looking at the thickness of the legs. (but it's just educated guesses) But I'm not sure if that works for Icelandics or not.

Other than a couple of Ameraucana's and olive eggers that kept me guessing up until 8 weeks, I can generally tell by 3-4 weeks for sure.


BTW Mary..........I think both non standard ameraucana's I hatched of yours are boys.

I knew the black/brown was cuz he was crowing, but I picked up the other one today, and I see 3 little rows on the pea comb.

Feel free to come and get em!

With that stink eye goin' on in the last pic (far right), I'd bet that one is a cockeral.

How's the baby emu Mary?

I am assuming the ones that hatch with obvious combs are boys. Is that a logical assumption?
