Have to apologize for this post obviously I still haven't quite figured out my phone, I was trying to use it during lunch without anyone noticing......shhhh!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
I just moved all of the eggs into the LG where I can atleast get the humidity up to 50%. Just erks me...I've used my homemade bator several times without a hitch. Who knows, guess I will just have to set some more eggs and try again.

*ear glued to bator* shhhh........wait....wait.......someone's CHIRPING!!!!

You know I think your right Patty. I was thinking pullet too but after staring at those feet I see what your saying. They got that pinky color to them too and that would mean roo.

Henry, onthespot, Chef thanks for the look. I believe this bird is 8 wks old. Compaired to all the rest in this hatch this one has the biggest feet, reddest comb and waddels (largest also) and is much larger in body than the rest. Ill try to get a better top photo this bird has copper saddle feathers comming in already it also has a little copper in the breast hopefully that will molt out during its first molt.

That color in the breast wont moult out unfortunately from my experience.

He looks like a boy to me.
I have a 1 yr old BCM gal that had that coloring in her breast... I too figured it would not molt out but her body is now completely black and her hackles are wwwwaaaaaaaay to light and brassy.
