Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

I think one of the baby monitors would work? When my kids were small they had the audio only ones, but I know they have camera ones now too.

Ha ha. I wish. We have our security cameras around the house and one was hooked to the outside of the shed that we converted do my DH said he thought the cord would reach and he moved it into the coop! I really lucked out there. He knows I have been searching online for one separate from our security system just for the coop. So he made me happy and saved money at the same time. I did go and look in the little window today which is right by the roosts and could see all of them using each level. They are just so cute!! I am so glad they are comfortable and they looked very content. They do fuss a lot during the day though since the run is still not ready for them. We've had nice weather here, but they have to stay locked up until the run is done. Tomorrow it is storming so that will delay us even more.

Oh no, I hope that you find her soon. 

Thanks Lynn! I never thought of a baby monitor! I'll have to look those up now. Hopefully the weather won't be to bad tomorrow so you can finish your run

Yay! Olive is still improving. She ate some lettuce today. It's the first day she has eaten since Sunday night. I hope it gets her appetite going. She really fought me with the medication today. I've never been so happy to be scratched up by an animal before. I think it's a good sign. I also gave the rest of the girls squash today. So everyone should be happy!
Oh oh and I candled a couple eggs today. Either I'm slowly cooking them or there's something growing in there...

How old are your little ones? If you can post pictures, I'd be glad to help you identify any boys in the set. I highly doubt they would have mistakes when it comes to the golden buffs, though, as those are sexlinks and the males and females are completely different colors at hatch. If they're all red, they're all girls. Boys are white. Also, I had a few people telling me my LBL was a boy, but she was not. Leghorns have large combs and they begin developing early even on the pullets, so you may just be seeing that.

Here's Whiri at various stages so you can compare (ETA Whiri is my LBL, of course) :

3 weeks old. I knew 100% she was a girl at this point, because boys feather in differently:





4 weeks old:




5 weeks:




6 weeks:




And now, 10 months old.

Great info and pics, thank you! I looked at various pics like these last night and did see that the pullets chests are brown where the males are black! Those ginormous combs and their crazy attitudes threw me off. I will post some pics tomorrow!

The babies are finally here!

They put Gro-Gel in the box with them since they were shipped from CA. All arrived healthy and happy.







From largest to smallest a Jumbo Pekin (Cream Puff), a Cayuga (Midnight), and a Blue Runner (Blue Bell).

Good news about Olive! What day are the eggs on?

Nothing cuter than a ducking... so precious. I didn't know they liked water right away, that's so cute.

Got a new flashlight and candled from the right end. What a difference! I can see veining in most of the eggs. It's still a little difficult with the colored shells, but day 5 is looking promising.

We went into lockdown today. 16 eggs made it this far. I can see movement in a lot of them. Fingers crossed for a good hatch.
