I'm on Hinkjc's waiting list for hatching eggs...

I'll prolly have to wait a year or so to get my hands on some eggs, but it'll be worth it!

Cheryl, how was your trip? Was it vacation or work?

What color Orp do you think is a cockerel!? (Lav!

)

I think she's quite a looker, could just be that she's my first Lavender, but still.

She's a bit flighty, but I think it's because she was integrated into an established flock of teenagers. She's adjusted well. I'm just gonna have to make sure she gets lots of treats and love to warm her up.

4 weeks old...we may not be pretty but we are cute!
1 black split, 2 lavs from gumpsgirl.... looks like split and middle lav are roos?

What do you guys think???

White and Black orps from Hinkjc, is the white a roo?

TOO MANY ROOS and I can't keep them! What do you think?

Cheryl, I have to agree with you. It looks like your black split, the lav to the left (closest to the split) and the white at this point are showing signs of being little boys. Their combs are more pronounced and the white even has little wattles!

It's still early though, I don't see much pink or red in their combs yet so they may simply be quick maturing girls.

ETA: How's their behavior? You'll notice right away that your boys are more curious than your little girls at this point.

Quick maturing girls....AH! I like that idea

They are being moved to the new coop today so i'll get to see their personality more. At this point with 28 chicks in a 5 foot diameter plastic swimming pool, it's hard to tell who's doing what!

Nice lookin young ones Cheryl. Nothing wrong about having some boyz to choose from. I am gettin 2 boys to every girl here this year.
