heck yes you will! I've been waiting for more pics on here! I am so happy with the incubator and hatcher I have. I don't care that they aren't new, they are mine to fill up! haha

just you wait...I'll be joining you in putting up pics here soon...three days til lockdown and then 3 days til hatchy hatching!!! I'm just about ready to explode. I am going to earn the reward of chickies at the end of the week with jury duty tomorrow. I hear we're under a weather advisory for tomorrow too...blech

Ok Vicki here ya go!




What do you think is it big enough? The trays are 24 x 36 for the 6 egg trays for 180 eggs each!

I'm so excited for my pullet to start laying! She is only 3 1/2 months old so I have awhile to wait. they were hatched from Greenfire eggs.

Or was this what you were looking for?

EE on the left and Blue? Copper on the right. I think it is a roo. Nice feathered leg, but only a couple of nubs on the toe.



This one is black for sure. No feathered legs...it is smaller and thinner legs, I am hoping pullet?



These are MY coppers from Pinks roo and my pullets. Pink's eggs have not hatched that I know of

but pipped maybe tomorrow. Charging batteries.

yipee! chickers! I would say that top one is a blue...without even reading what you wrote that was what I automatically thought. I think I stand the chance to have quite a few blues if I'm lucky enough. Not long at all now....I'm just gonna have to pray for patience, cause I'm starting to drive myself nuts.

Donna, I usually lurk here but wanted to ask what makes you think roo vs pullet on such young chicks.
Thanks!

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. IDK really... I looked at the feathers and they seem to all be the same length and that usually means roo.

Here is a pic sorry it is so bad camera didn't know what to focus on... Pink may be able to confirm or deny my guess. This is the blue one's feathers



This is the black one's.... I can't really tell on this one

Would someone direct me to a couple of sources of non-hatchery Cuckoo Marans eggs?
The Black Coopers are very nice but I miss my Cuckoo's

Thank you - I'll post pics of my two little BC chicks tonight. Only 2 out of 14 hatched. Shipped eggs. Have my fingers crossed for a male and female !!
