Light brahma maybe? Compare to these pics: http://forum.backyardpoultry.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=8007248

If they are I’d love that! I wonder if they’re all pullets is really love that

Well, I went back and tried to calculate when I actually set my eggs, and either Sunday or Monday- yesterday- would have been day 28.

We still have no pips and no movement, although last night I played duckling sounds and one egg rocked a little.

I just candled all of them and I think I see movement (or at least shadows moving?) so I guess I'll continue being impatient. And stressed.

Hatching is seriously for the birds.

Ducklings take their sweet time. You just gotta be okay with that. I don't generally lock anything down until I see shadowing/internal pips. I only get away with that 'cause I compulsively candle every. single. day.

I don’t lockdown at all usually. I candle when they have external pips... I just know how to be fast. Plus I’ve never had issues, but no one follow my example

Well, I might do that too... just maybe...

you’re my type of person! Anyways I try to stay hands off, but it’s impossible for me.

Does that mean that you don’t raise humidity/stop turning until external pip?

I never raise my humidity and I stop turning a week before all my eggs hatch.

What are these? They were sent to TSC on accident and they had no clue. I got them for $0.50 a piece a few weeks ago. They had ordered meat chickens and these were in the order, the TSC said they were Cornish rocks or leghorns... you can laugh because I did.

They have feathered legs and look amazing.

I think they are Light Brahmas.

I think they are Light Brahmas.

I made a thread about it I figured it was easier. Most are saying the same thing. Hoping they are all pullets

Two weeks in for my eggs now! They're all moving and growing, though a couple seem to be smaller/behind the others. I'll stop turning them on Saturday. I'm like some of you guys, though; I candle every day until I see a pip!
