I let one of my pullets hatch this only chick which is now two weeks old. I have a suspicion that it's a boy! Any guesses? I know I could just wait a couple of more weeks and watch the comb development, but, you all know how it is. lol

Yes, the mama hatched it. She was such a persistent broody that I let her have two eggs (not her eggs). Just the one egg hatched. I have another broody (her sister) that's been a pain for 3 weeks now. I need to get a wire cage and try to break her. I just don't need any more chickens. This mama just started laying in January and then went broody on me after just a month. Grrrr, she was doing good too! Oh well, if this is a pullet then it's worth it.
