thats wonderful, silkies are just so loving, and the roosters make great pets once they get out of the testosterone fed stage

I actually think you are onto something there. Before 24 hours old there are diffinetely two types of wing tips. My last hatch had half that were staggered tips and half with even tips. It will be interesting to explore that idea.

And I agree with you on the egg shape. It's just that my WCB lay a torpedo shaped egg (almost hard to tell top from bottom) and my Blue's lay a more standard shaped chicken egg, I was just trying to get an idea of the roundness that you were talking about.

Well, I took a week's worth of eggs , laid them all side by side, and picked 5 of the most blunt ended eggs. 2 hatched, and those are females. Then 10 days later, I took 6 eggs, and picked the bluntest ones. I put three under my silkie and those 3 are pictured above. So I'm still waiting. All of the eggs were from the same roo and one of 3 buff laced polish sisters.

I think c is a girl, too. But a and b have conflicting signs. a looks like a girl, but she has those new feathers coming in. But the poof is wide and round with rounded feathers. b has the rounded feathers but the mohawk look seems like a boy. No one has any pink comb or wattles showing yet.
The waiting is killing me, LOL
