This is a 5.5 week brown leghorn...pullet or cockerel?
Hatchery sexed as a female.

Awfully big comb for that young.
Okay, okay, don't shoot me gang, but I have to post this picture. Again. (I'm such a one trick pony -definitely going to have to acquire more stories or y'all are going to call my kids and say, "Your sweet mamma needs to go to the "home" now... is she still driving????")Well I deeply appreciate your opinion. Thank you for posting. I will wait another week or so...or wait for a big "cock a doodle dooooo" before making any big decisions!
So great! Glad it is working out so well! And, darn it all, seeing that sweet little wet baby really makes me want to get out the incubator and call wvduckchick for some Orpington eggs. Must. Resist. Must. Resist.View attachment 1074800 And then there were three...Happily, they're different colors so far, which will make keeping track of who is who much easier! I checked the remaining eggs; the other Mad Scientist egg is pipped and chirping. The blue Olive Egger was neither, so I candled it and saw only liquid and therefore tossed it. I'm still VERY happy with the hatch rate from shipped eggs and definitely recommend MPC and their shipping/packaging!
