Yesterday was Day 7, and out of 11 eggs I still only had 4 developing. I had 5 clears (3 detached air cells and 2 damaged yolks) and 2 blood rings. I'll be happy if the last 4 make it to hatch, I'm going to do everything I can to get them there.

I am clearly incompetent and cannot figure out how to post to the SFH thread. Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm new to chickens and could use lot's of help. I bought these 5 chicks from a breeder. They are now 8 wks, 5 wks, and 3 weeks old. Two of them are growing much faster than the 15 SFH I have raised and they are far more boisterous. I am confident the gray baby is SFH. I would love to get second opinions about all of them from the folks who know. Thank you for any help you can offer me.

8 week old.


5 week old.

5 week old's face, 3 week old's tiny crest.

This is Sunny, 3 weeks! I love this chick.

The little family - 5 wk, and two 3 weeks.

and welcome to the SFH thread! Beautiful chicks! They all appear to be SFH to me, but make sure you keep us updated with lots of photos so we can help you more.

Yes, the pics are so we can HELP her. OK, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Psst...we love looking at pics of SFH!

Keeping fingers and toes crossed that your 4 developing eggs hatch!

Day 10, candled and weighed. Four embryos still kickin', weight loss is still on track at 6.31%. No candling for the next 4 days! (Hides the flashlight.)
