That first pied is such a cutie!
I'm jealous... I'd love to have had some pieds!

1st Thats a pied(loud) not silver pied
2nd Blue
3rd My guess blue split pied, could be W.E.
4th Not sure if Bronze, have not hatch any yet, looks darker than blue.

Wait to sex after a month or two, those all look like day old.

are those chickens??? how beautiful!!!

 

[Phage]

Thanks Deerman. I don't know how you do it!
I will certainly post them when they are older to get a shot at sexing them.

They hatched at 25 days. Is that normal or is the incubator too hot (37.5'c)?

For some reason, they do hatch at 26 days in the southern states. If you had a good hatch, would keep temp the same.

Nice looking peachicks.

Phage, my eggs all hatch at 26 days.

Yes that one is a white eyed.. it has the sugar frosted look on wings.

That looks like a bronze too, they look slightly different from a blue chick.

Thanks Kev. The "bronze" chick definitely has a darker front area, possibly with a hint of ?pink compared to the IB. May be that is just the light.......

Yes the bronzes show a very slight pink glint. What I didn't know before my bronze boys matured, there is a rose-pink ring around the eyes in the tail. Very beautiful! However no matter how I try, it just doesn't show up in pictures, probably because the tails are also unusually shiny.

Phage, note your 3rd pic The yellow spot on the back. Remember the train feathers are NOT tail feathers but come off the back.
So if that is a peacock he will have white train feathers.
