Hi Everyone!
One of my hens hatched 10 chicks from fertilized eggs I obtained from another flock on June 29, 2024. So, they're about 5 weeks old. All eggs were collected on the same day from a large flock, so they should all be different mothers. There were 4 white eggs, 3 light brown eggs, and 3 blue eggs. Fathers could be BR, BCM, or BRmix. I'm hoping y'all can help verify my guesses. It was really hard to get these pics! I labeled them 1-10. Thanks in advance for your help!!!
My guesses:
#1 - Cockerel
#2 - Cockerel
#3 - Pullet
#4 - Pullet
#5 - Cockerel
#6 - Cockerel
#7 - Cockerel
#8 - Pullet
#9 - Cockerel?
#10 - Pullet?
Nine has a cool duplex comb and a cute legbar tuft, so I might try to keep "him" anyway. Ten has a pea comb and is developing slowly so it's hard for me to tell, but I'm hoping pullet. I will attempt to rehome all other cockerels. I'm in NE PA... if anyone's interested, I'll deliver!
