Baby pics of my May 19 and June 4 chickens (just a few of them). There are two crosses in play: my 2 EE roosters crossed with my 2 EE hens, and my 2 EE roosters crossed with red sex link hens.

I hope these three are all pullets
the black headed bird has the stance of a cockerel, but no comb color. Photos don't do justice to these feathers. I hope it's a hen as this one is a keeper.

A very feather footed pullet but I don't like her body, it's very compact for her legs. I'll let her grow and see how she develops. The wheaten Amearaucana type is a nice bird.

This is an example of the pullet type I am working toward. Broad, deep, wide body, nice color, feathered shanks. The pullet to her left is also very pretty, with her Brahma blood she may end up as the foundation of my meaty strain.

I love the pattern on this bird. The photo does not do her justice.

He's crowing. He's a good little roo, if I grab one of the birds in the pen and it cries out he will run over and look to see what is happening.
Here is a poor photo of my barred, slate shanked EE pullet.
I enjoy seeing chickens that aren't all solid colored. I really like the gray/black/whites.

Someone is getting a little too big for her britches. After this multi quote, stay tuned for the new "South of the Border"

Summer shandy is a delicious ice cream.

I've candled before. Nothing red about that. Red would have been marking air cells on all of them. I candled 6 out of curiosity. This is my first set from this flock, so I'm curious about fertility


I don't have any candling photos, but here are the eggs before they were set. Some are a good bit lighter than others, but seem to be getting darker as the pullets get older


Ice cream... silkie's watching.
Just remember this when I unveil the new

I was wondering the same thing, but saw her explanation after I quoted you.

Nothing wrong with candling every night either. Did you forget the name of the thread?? It's not the action that deserves all the attention...it's the action coming from Mr "I ain't candling until lockdown" lol

I got lost back on page 871 and I have too many meetings today to catch up. I did candle my 5 Marans over RSL eggs yesterday and it looks like 4 of them are developing so far. That Marans boy is getting after it. Some of the eggs are small though. I hope the chicks aren't doomed. Day 6 today I think.

Yay!!! That was my big worry with my pullet eggs. The polish and silkie's eggs were a bit smaller than I was comfortable, but they did great. And all the chicks are average in size now.
