That is great news.

I am still waiting on the last two to hatch as well.

Yeah! more hatches out there! My 8 are good. One little guy I was worried about, the last one to hatch wasn't fluffing up, 24 hours latter still looked crusty, becoming more and more lethargic, I happened to think I wonder if we showed him the water? So I took him and dipped his nose in, well he drank and drank and drank, went and got a bite of food and drank and drank again! Started perking up/fluffing up and he is fine now! Poor little one was dying of thirst!
Don't forget to show them the water when you put them in the brooder! Can't wait to see pics of the latest hatches!

They are cute...hopefully the other two still in the incubator hatch out today and I can have a photo op with all of them.

Thank you CJ. I might end up having to post their pics on the gender ? page because I can't really determine how many boys are in that bunch. You are supposed to be able to tell right away with Cream Legbars. Boys are to have spot on their heads and girls look like chipmunks. But I found another site from the UK that shows that boys can sometimes not have the spot, but have muted striping...if that is the case I think I have one girl and three boys in that group.

I am waiting for the other two to hatch and then I can take pics of all six. Here are the ones that I believe are for sure a boy and girl.
Roo to the left, pullet to the right.

i'm not good with the sexing of chicks. my buff orpingtons are supposed to be the easiest to wing sex days 1-3, and i looked at the wings and saw that i have at least 3 hens i think so I am happy with that. Yours are beautiful WyoChickenMama!

Thank you CJ!

The other two just hatched out within the hour. They are fluffing up and running around the incubator...or should I say falling about...they remind me of little drunkards...falling all over themselves for those first few hours. Cracks me up how they go go go and then just fall asleep for an instant, then start in all over again. I will post some more pictures later tonight of all 6 of them.
