And someone was a speedy zipper! Blue and from one of the darker eggs, it will be a keeper for sure. I want to swap out my roos next year

Those feet look large enough to be a Roo.

I was so afraid I would have a failed hatch - my incubator temperature may have been a bit low. I am so glad I have 5 little EEs! I turned off the heat lamp to get a picture. Group pics are always a challenge!

OMG look at those cheeks!!!! Congrats!

These are my 1 week old chicks, I hatched last week from an incubator, and their big sistas (white crested black Polish and frizzle Cochin). The juveniles are super friendly and gentle to the babies. They take care of them when I let them out in the grass when it warms up during the day.
Btw, are my juveniles hens or roosters?

Looks like hens to me- I have a 10-11 week old white crested black polish hen- The fullest hair usually means female I believe and yours has a similar hairdo to mine.

I also have a red frizzle cochin like yours, but that ones only 2/3 weeks old (forgot when I got them exactly)
No idea on it's gender yet haha, but yours looks like a pullet to me.
Not an utd photo;

39 eggs are left in the incubator since i last candled, need to update my journal. I will tonight as my first batch will be on day 14 so expect a journal update later.
They hatch next thursday, and will be on lockdown starting monday, can't wait I'm just too impatient.
-
My friends rooster died (racoon attack she believes), her only frizzle so she wants me to try and hatch 12 of her freshest eggs to see if any get frizzled genes, getting them tomorrow- I'll probably be hand turning 6 of them while the others are on lockdown, until they all hatch at least. The other 6 will be in my older incubator until i can stick them in the main incubator.
Didn't think I'd be hatching so many, but oh well, I'll figure something out on what to do with all these babies.
