Now I've got the song stuck in me head!

Is he really little? I saw a bantam for the first time a few weeks ago, and I was like "Is that a toy?!" He was so tiny!
Hello!

Since they were put in the incubator.

That's too early for them to start singing.

Silver Pencil Rock.

I hatched Silver Penciled Rocks here but they didn't do well. The problem was the breeder and my incubator.

I did. Better she get attached to half a dozen than one

Good plan.
Did I tell you I once put 34 chicks with a broody hen in the winter?

Hello Whites. I think I'm going to take the eggs from my broody Thursday as they are due Friday. Due to the reason you mentioned and they could easily slip into the adults pen from where they are.

Change the feed and let her finish incubating and brood. Saves time and electricity. Not to mention that you'll have to break her from being broody. You'll get eggs from her sooner if you just let her keep them.

Umm, both.   These are Silver Pencil Rocks.

Nice. I like the looks of them.

Nice. I like the looks of them.

Of the six SPR's that I hatched two months ago, two were tiny and dark, and four were light and large. In the beginning, I thought the smallness was because they had been shrink wrapped so bad. After a week or so, the breeder told me that she noticed that the girls were often a darker color (not fool proof. Not claimng sex links) It was not until yesterday that I noticed that I might have a third girl. I only got a quick look at her before the duckling pair ran off with the chicks. Later on, when the breeder brought the eggs, she confirmed that I do have three girls and three boys. She saw them just two weeks ago, and even she could not tell then. Is very clear now finally.
Unfortunately, I have not seen any of the boys without brown leakage. Only now are they old enough for me to pay any actual attention to them as breeding stock. So, these eggs should provide some more boys for me to choose from. LOL! I am fairly sure that I will have boys, I just mean good looking boys.
