September Hatch-A-Long

[darkbluespace]

Day 18 and I locked down my eggs... in their separate baskets, so I know who is from what rooster... hopefully! I swear I saw some wiggling! I try to keep my temp a little on the high side so they hatch a little early... yes, I am that impatient. Sometimes Seramas hatch on day 19... we'll see...

so excited!!

CHICKS!!!!

The girls..... (three Cinnamon Queen RSL's + 1 unsexed F2 OE [ Marans x Marans+CCL] )






The boys.... (RIRxSLW RSL's)




More boys..... (Welsummers)


Trying to get chicks to pose for pictures is nigh unto impossible.... Like trying to herd cats.

My daughter said, "AWWWWW! Those ones are wearing mascara!"

She said the CQ RSL in the middle on the 2nd picture should be named Cleo as in Cleopatra... And she likes the first picture with the "chickie booty"

You ended up with quite a few boys.

Understatement. Only 3 pullets from 40+ eggs. And, yes, 3:8 ratio out of the 11 that hatched..

I have yet to get more pullets than cockerels in a hatch! LOL

So here's a question for everyone. What do you do with your boys (if you know they're boys)? Do you sell them, give them away, eat them?

Eat them....
