polish brahma cross anyone???

If they have been incubating 2 weeks, could you candle to check for fertility/chick growth?

I have and all 10 eggs that I got from my two hens have chicks in them. Than again, that doesn't always mean they will all hatch though. As far as I could tell, when I candled them, they all seemed well. Lockdown for them starts tomorrow, so hopefully I get some chicks within the next 3 days or so.

Yes i would like some pics of them

Sure, I'll get some. Should start getting some chicks hatching in the next 3 days.

So, chicks popped today, have 5 right now, plus another 5 sitting in the incubator. I have attached a picture of our polish roo, and one of two, brahma hens we own. This is the results of crossing them, but I don't think they will all look this way. I have included a picture of one of five chicks that hatched.

So we had another chick hatch today that is polish/brahma and he/she came out with a more reddish tinge than the rest who are all black so far.

From the ones you've shown doesn't look like the fluffy feet gene was passed But they are cute for sure, specially the brown one.

They all got the fluffy feet, they just didn't want to stand up for me when I was trying to take pictures XD

Took a picture of another chick who would actually stand for me, or rather pose XD. You can see they have a bit of the fluff on the feet.

Yeah looks like a tiny bit of fluff. Just not what I'm used to on like Brahmas lol. Should be cute and very feathery all over.

Yup, I'll take more pictures as they grow and feather out. It'll be interesting to see how they look once they get older.
