Ah, I am not an expert in breeds, but I see some silkies and mini Cochins? I have been trying to hatch silkies, I have one couple and the hen is just a hatching machine. Lays 6 eggs and goes broody. Raises the chicks for about 1.5 months, lays 6 eggs and goes broody. I have two eggs pure Silkies eggs in the incubator now, I am about to check if they are fertile tonight. My mini Cochins hatch didn't turn well ,last week - 2 out of 10 eggs.

I like this breed Netherlands Uilebaard. Small, cute and very very lively. I hope the remain the same when they grow up.

Does anybody have a chicken with frizzle genes?

I wish I had frizzle chickens.

One of my white Sulmtaler roosters. Looking promising!!
I have several good looking white roosters. I am hoping that the (only ) 6 girls are good as well.

I have send pics of my chicks to the man of the bantam RIR eggs to shed/shine * his light over the gender of these chicks. I suspected two roosters in the meantime. One didn't have a clearly toothed comb.

He said , maybe all three are cockerels. The one I was hoping to be a girl was smaller and didn’t have a comb a few days ago. But now she became a he too. The comb was later because she didnt grow as fast as the others.

So sad.
Now I need to make plans for another future then I hoped for. I’m making up my mind. Maybe I try another hatch. And bring the cockerels back to where they came from.

* what is the right expression?
