July 2022 Hatch-A-Long

[Dragon Slayer Trinket]

Yay!!! An Ethel, I love it!!! My babies are 3 weeks and 2 weeks now. Older ones are in the coop brooder and the younger ones will be next week. I haven't gotten pics of them for about a week, but they are due for a photo shoot. Definitely have at least 2 boys, a wheaten and blue wheaten ameraucana...might be a 3rd splash wheaten boy, but it's hard to tell. The rest, I have no idea. The Silvers, which I thought would be easier to tell by now are still a toss up, but I think I might have a boy and a girl, which would be cool. A couple of the Marans from my 2nd hatch are getting pretty large combs, but no obvious boys there yet. They're all really good babies though, no real troublemakers...yet, lol. I love them

I sure hope she's not a roo, and I hope you get what you want, although a few extra roos can't really hurt, can they? I could just get more hens...
Forgot ages. Mine are about three weeks old (4 for the guineas) and I have some 8 weekers in the pen. I was supposed to get three copper marans, but I think I got one copper and two birchens, which is fine. I like all chickens. Although our first hatcher is starting grate on my nerves, along with being the only unnamed chick.

WOW mine are 2.5 weeks and still have no clue. My Cochin roo I could tell at about 3.5-4 weeks so hopefully I can with these guys.

Yeah, that's what I like about the wheatens. I could tell at 2 weeks that the blue and wheaten boys were boys. The splash is just too similar to the girls' coloring though, but it is really starting to look like it's a boy...there's just too much patchy white on his wings. But the wheatens are great. I wish the silvers were as easy to sex as I thought they were gonna be. I think I'll know within the next 3-ish weeks with them though. Not too much longer.

Your little silkies are so adorable!

Here's pics of my hatch. I think all of my faves are roosters. I didn't get blue laced red W-dottes like I was supposed to, my Legbar is a roo, and I can't even tell what chicks are what, even with pictures. Who knows what I got, other than a definite legbar, isbar, copper maran, and deathlayer. I love everyone very much, but I was really hoping for W-dottes.

Saw that one of you, I think @FreedomFarm13 , was debating on the name Ethel? Well, I loved that. One in the middle is Ethel, who I think is a roo, and I have no idea what he/she is breedwise. One on the left is a barred rock rooster (where did that come from!?).

Thor the cream legbar, and Peanut the guinea.

Twixy the guinea, the yellow (Victoria) is a mutt, Marvin the Copper Maran, I don't know what the fluffy black one (Oney) is, and our first hatcher. Marvin and the first hatcher I think are roos.

(Not Pictured)
Loki - Golden deathlayer
Lottie - Mutt or Swedish flower, maybe
Lola - NOT a W-dotte
Maybe more?

@Tretinker

They are too cute!

I'm sorry you didn't get you BLRW, it's a breed I would love to have.

The deathlayer is still the collect chicken name and I love you've named one Loki, that's too perfect!

Haha, thanks! Loki is very sweet, and I think she's a hen.

@FreedomFarm13 , my marans have huge combs too! Is that just normal?

I’m loving all the updates on HAL chicks! They all look adorable.

No news here. I think I identified another Hoover’s chick as their Midnight Majesty Marans. Sexlinked so definitely a little pullet. She should lay terracotta colored eggs +/- speckles. Nice addition to any egg basket.

Here are a couple pics of a July HAL Legbar pullet. She is moderately difficult to catch but the calmest sweetest chick one she’s nabbed.

My chicks are 3 weeks old now? IDK, but, here is a pic of them with the tiny polish, who is 9 or 10 weeks? She was a failure to grow, so I kept her with the babies when they shipped. they are catching up to her size wise. It is hot today.
