New Brahma Group: Blue Partridge x Partridge, Plus Dark

[speckledhen]

Well, this is being weird, tried to add Bash's pictures at the end and it just didn't do it.

Three week old Brahmas. Not sure of sex, though one of them has a pretty bare chest, as you can see from his bulging crop in one of the photos. I'm sure that one is male, but waiting on further feathering to be sure of the others.
Brandy's 8 eggs are due tomorrow, all Bashlets

Brandy's chicks are hatching, two out, several more pipped. Pics are the first two, one dark, one very light.
ETA: As of 6 p.m., six chicks hatched and the last two eggs pipped!

More pictures. Brandy is a great broody, I must say. She will be a year old in a couple of weeks.

Running off to breakfast now, but wanted to say she had a 100% hatch! Eight fluffy Brahma butts are here!

The Awesome Eight! They are bunched up in one or two of the pictures because mama Brandy did one of those broody "war cries" and scared them half to death!

It must have been that ferocious dangerous camera that set her off!

Brandy's babies are 3 days old and got outside today for the first time. One is super light/yellowish (splash?) and one is very tiny. @Sjisty what are your impressions on the light colored one, 4th picture down? Could it be my first splash?

In the picture below, the lightest colored chick and the tiny chick.

And Bonnie's 3 week old Brahmas. I have one definite cockerel, not sure on the rest, but I think there is at least one more boy in there.

This boy below in the left is the same as in the first picture.

What the attached file is at the bottom, I have no idea. It doesn't show in my edit for me to remove it.

They look great so far!

They're going to be in that scruffy dinosaur stage soon, LOL.

here are Brandy's chicks today. I think the lightest one is a splash and a pullet, too. The comb is super narrow at the back. Of course, it's really soon to call sex on them, but I did on that one. I had to pick it up to check why it was acting like something was in its eyes and I took the opportunity to spread the wings. The tiny feathers look white.
