a couple pics of new chicks, hatched out, the natural way...
A Barred Rock, EE mix I believe...notice her cheek puffs! 99% sure this is a pullet, due to her coloring and leg colors. I know the comb is large, but she does not look like any of the BR roos I have owned and looks very much the same as my 2 hens.
(hatch date May 14)
another roo, 4 toes, but feathered legs...
(Hatch date, May 26th)
My California white, with some silky and maybe EE in her...puff on top of head also.
(Hatch date May 26th)
A silky/cochin mix I believe...not much tail, a blue earlobes...pullet
(Hatch date May 17th)
Australorp/ silky mix pullet...
notice puff on top of head
(Hatch date May 26th)
an EE roo....gorgeous feathering...very "Harpy Eagle" looking....
(Hatch date May 16th)
And finally the last batched, my silky/cochin has been sitting on an assortment of eggs, 3 EE and one brown egg hatched the past 2 days....this in the newest one...!
(Hatch date July 24th)
Just wanted to share...we did it the natural way, placing random eggs under broody hens..my first attempt, it turned out great!! 3 of these chicks were hatched with an incubator, by my nieces as a summer project, they did well!
