They are a mixed hybrid fun pack. The dark brown is a marans x Orph should make a nice big fluffy black girl with feathered legs that lays dark brown eggs.here are my eggs, I really don't remember if i ever asked what breeds they were from LOL
I am going to let all chicks grow to 10 to 12 weeks old before trying to tell sex even if some are sexlink. because roosters I like to raise til they are about to start crowing then butcher for food. But apparently it's cruel to butcher chickens within city limits. I'm a farm girl, I don't have a second thought about butchering an animal on my back yard. I guess it's not allowed here. so roosters will get a ride to my moms and possibly caged seperate from her hens to grow even larger. I'm going to see if she'll let me put the young roosters in her garden as my dad refuses to let the chickens down there this year. that way her garden gets taken care of, and once she's ready to plan they will be ready to be food and should be good sized (as big as they will be). I'm hoping for there to be mostly pullets thoughThey are a mixed hybrid fun pack. The dark brown is a marans x Orph should make a nice big fluffy black girl with feathered legs that lays dark brown eggs.
The green ones are easter eggers with blue, green and maybe tan as and egg color very consistent layer
The small blue ones are from a splash ameracauna which will have blue easter egger babies that lay blue or green eggs
The medium blue ones are from a black ameracauna babies will be easter eggers that lay blue or green eggs
The speckled is from a production red x Orph the only one I have hatched from that mix is a red with gray blue under feathers (of course she is young and this may change) what she'll lay unknown very consistent layer
The tans should be from the barred rock x Orph they'll be sex link chicks white dot on head means boy. black means girl. very consistent layers
The lightest smallest tan egg is a mystery egg. I think / hope it is a blue laced red wyandotte. I have them in a very mixed pen and didn't think they were laying til I hatched one that looks alot like a blue laced red wyandotte baby 2-3 days ago.
The pink egg is a dominique egg also sex linked, also very good layer.
Hope you get a nice rainbow basket of eggs from the girls. I know my egg customers (eating egg) love the different colors and my kids at school think it is amazing the different colors. That pack was alittle heavy on the blues and greens because she asked for them, I collected an extra days worth.
Only have one more of those I can send out, Monday.
Here's a blue baby from the splash ( I just love the color) You'll have to forgive me it is one of my first blue babies that my chickens have made :}
Im also Picking my eggs up tonight and setting first thing tomorrow morn(mon the 3rd). I am so excited this is my first time. I need practice though because I want to hatch out my turkeys eggs come spring. Good luck on your hatch and post your progress. I know I will probably be asking lots of questions to everyone.
Congratz on joining the hatching craziness it is so much fun! do you have a source of Turkey eggs?
Good luck! You will enjoy the turner. I turned them by hand for a while and enjoyed it but it is easier to keep humidity and temps even because you don't have to open the lid as much with a turner. I'm locking down a mix of 36 OE, EE, BO and some not sures tomorrow morning in an old Hova Bator with a turner that I'm using for the first time.
