Of course I remember them! Oops, lol Blaine and Bobbie??? Sorry!!! Ummmm well the only roosters I have outside are Silkie/Cochin mixes so they are half that at least. However, they are the only chicks born from these roosters without 5 toes and black skin so I'm thinking the hen was a cochin too? I have just about every color under the sun cochin....what are their markings like?

well crazily enough they have similar build to seramas the pointy wings but I think they do have feathered shanks? I'll take some pics and show you. I'm not sure if they're boys theyve just pinked up a bit!

Oh and before I forget

like that's going to happen

I'm going to be getting some hatching eggs from RareFeathersFarms as a trade for some fondant work

If they all hatch # of eggs as of yet unknown but if they all hatch I doubt I can keep them all so I may be bringing some to the swap I just have to talk to her and see what she's willing to trade! Aint BYC the BEST?!?!?!?!??!?!?

Oh and if you're interested in any of them PM me and that might just help me decide what to ask for

lol yeah please do...maybe from that I can tell who the hen was. The only other rooster outside is my black tailed buff Japanese but he is paired with barred OEGBs...and neither of those breeds have feathered shanks. They are another Castle Creation

Ok, because I was too excited to wait another few days, lol, I candled and made notes on all my Serama eggs set last weekend. 35 total set....2 red rings of death

....4 too iffy to tell yet....AND 29 GROWING BABIES!

AND....all 5 of my breeding roosters at the moment are fertile, 2 of them Class A's which are known for very low fertility.

My hope is restored in not only my hatching abilities lol but also in my Brinsea. I was tossing more shipped eggs than I was keeping all winter long so I was getting fed up with both!

I'll have to check the feathering but I think that explains it. Are they LF or Banty?

Bantam

Thought as much from their current size. He's definitely the daddy though!
