is this what the different ones are supposed to look like? pullett vs cockeral?

yep you do have some girls in there.

that is awesome. the one i really want to be a girl is according to this. she is so friendly and always runs to me when i am there. she was the first hatched and is still the first to do everything

I set eggs this morning and just found this thread. I ordered bbs americauna's, sex linked olive eggers, olive eggers (most are the am's). I think 21, I purchased them from cottagegarden on byc, they were packed great, none broken and the colors are incredible. Now the bad news is I got out the top hatch and plugged it in, the fan wasn't working, the light bulb holder was somehow cracked (it has been sitting in the basement for 2 years), I worked on it, but got nervous about something going wrong and burning the house down, so ran to the feed store and all they had was lg's no fan. I am not too worried cause I used one for years and had decent hatch rates in it, if I get 50 percent from shipped I feel great, so fingers crossed, this one functions as well as my old one did.
