Is she a black australorp?

I think what I like about Meyer Hatchery is that they have a chart telling you what your extra chick was depending on the week you got it. I can’t take the suspense!

I guess Mystery wanted to hitch a ride with the sapphire gems lol. Either way, I thought it was fun watching her grow up.

The grey chicken is labeled as a Sapphire Gem by the hatchery. My mystery chicken came in with that bunch and looked different even as a chick. I wasnt actually supposed to end up with Mystery but I took her to see what she was lol.

Thank you! They are such pretty little things!

5 weeks and 3 days... Haven't heard any crowing attempts and haven't seen any sparring. I'm hoping the ratio is maybe 3 gals to 1 guy! Not lucky enough to hatch all 4 gals lol. Any thoughts yet?

If they are just 5 weeks it looks like you've got several boys there.

Honestly they all look like cockerels to me. They've got a lot of red comb for just 5 weeks.

That would be terrible. Praying thats not the case. Eeeek.

Update with new pics in 2-3 weeks. Also they are far to young to crow. And chest bumping is not an accurate way to sex them. Pullets do it just as much as cockerels.
