Little cuties for sure .what is the yellow guy?

Oh my gosh, look at them all! Whee!!! Dandydoodle, they're beautiful!!! Only, how can you tell them apart?The speckled sussexes, okay, and I see one little tan colored guy, but how do you tell who's who on the yellow ones?

Thanks,

It was tough to begin with and I ended up examining them really well and I noticed the legs are different. Some have feathered legs, some have a kind of slate tint to their legs and some have a pinkish yellow legs. So I studied everyones legs and separated them in piles. I know from my hatch I had 5 White Ameraucanas, 2 Wheaton Marans and 3 coronation sussex that made it through hatch. So I looked for the feathers guys and there is two so those are Wheaton Marans. Then separated them by the color of their legs Slat or yellow pink. Turns out we had there was 5 with Slate ( White Ameraucana) and three with yellow pink. So since there was a remaining 3 with the yellow pink legs those had to be the Sussex.

It was crazy to begin with but, now that I now who everyone is I can tell when I look at them. The ones with the Slate legs are already starting to grow in their muffs.

Soooooooo cute!!!!!

No,

He is not okay. That is the one bad thing about being able to get them here alive. Sometimes there are bigger reasons why the hatch go wrong. Sometimes its just cause, they are to big and can't get positioned right and need help and other times its because, there is more wrong. The hatching went fine and I got him here. Turned out the reason he couldn't get to the air sac to pip is part of the membrane had wrapped around his little leg really tight. Unfortunately babies are really fragile and its easy for their legs to get messed up. I think the baby kept pulling to free its leg until it did some really bad damage. I freed his leg and he is alive and peeping but, can't seem to get up. It just lays on its side the whole time. I am giving it time because, I was hoping things would turn around for it and I have been feeding it sugar water. Honestly thought I don't see much hope, it can't spend its whole life laying on its side. The poor baby will starve to death.

:< That is a shame. But you're right...I am steeling myself to do two eggtopsies here myself. I have given up on the two which have not moved in a couple days. The first little tiny one is going strong though (funny thing, I was not sure this one would hatch because it was such a tiny egg...and it ended up being the one that DID hatch)

Sometimes things are just out of our hands. Good energy for the rest of your babies.

Here is little no-name




I just took a look in the two remaining eggs...both quit. One had to have quit some time ago, the other probably around day 17 or so. :/
