Day 21 here! I have one chick out and 2 zipping right now. One of the pips from yesterday never zipped Looks like I’ll have at least 3 chicks though! The broodies are sitting tight so I haven’t seen any chicks with them yet.

I didn't do individual portraits, but here are some candid shots of the flock. The whole gang is there in the box while I change the pad and clean the waterer.

Then, back in the brooder you can see the variety of chick's. There are a couple that may be pure Cream Legbar, a lot that appear to be Rhode Island Red with Cream Legbar crosses, and some that are pure Rhode Island Red.

There is one cross that has an interesting light chipmunk pattern rather than dark. We are calling it Stripe for now. There is another one that has just a dark spot on its head. It's named Fluffy Flufferton-- a name picked from a show she watches called "Gabby's Dollhouse." They are both in the last photo, along with a couple of unnamed RIRs.

CL are auto sexing, light color chick is a male. Good hatch btw

This one came out of a brown egg, though, so I know it is a cross. It looks like the Cream Legbar rooster may be fairly active from the number of crosses I had from RIR eggs. We are calling the light one "Stripe", though hopefully it won't be like Stripe from the movie Gremlins!
