If the ee's are all pullets..... And I have a fertilized egg......

[DawnSuiter]

Well.. I guess it's not too scientific, but he just looks like a boy to me... I don't have RIR just Orps and the like... but I think I see pointy neck feathers and his face & shape look like a cockerel to me... SO developed for such a young chook.

A double yoker but only 1 was fertile.... I would have to guess that BOTH would be fertile... but I suppose almost anything is possible.. I don't have enough experience with that.

It just took me at least 20+ min. to read through all of the posts and go back and forth and try to find my way back to this one.

I don't have any idea which of your chickens is a roo but they all look like hens to me.

I could be wrong though.

They all look like pullets to me too.

The ee's are definately hens, so don't get rid of any of them.

I think that your egg wasn't really fertile. I cracked one of mine open yesterday to look at it and it looked more like the pictures posted here on BYC of a fertile egg, but I know for a fact that I don't have any roos (all my girls are laying). So my guess is that the egg wasn't really fertile, but just looked like it.

That would be fantastic if the egg was a fluke. The blue & the grey ee's are standoffish, but I love them just the same. I don't plan on getting rid of any unless they start crowing or just get plum MEAN. I would love to have a roo. Would love to have my trooper here with us, but ordinance just does not allow

I need land, outside of the city limits.

If it was a double yolker, both should be fertile (at least from what I understand about that kind of stuff). I am going to lean towards a fluke. While I thought your blue EE is a roo, if it is smaller and one of the later ones to turn pink, then it's a girl. None are "obviously" roos, so maybe the egg was just a fluke.

Can't wait to see how this turns out.

I got my second egg today, so after we crack it open (which may be a day or 3) I'll report back as to whether it LOOKS fertile or not, LOL
