The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

[Razadia]

My guess is aracauna(not sure how to spell it)

And while everyone is guessing I was wondering what this chick might be

The toe color makes me think it's a Black Australorp.

That's a good possibility .... I read that they have a green sheen in the sun and commented to my DD ..... She went with to get the eggs and saw the adult chickens (I didn't get ya go) she said that quite a few had that green Sheen ....!

It looks like I have a couple more quitters to add to the 14 I took out yesterday. This is the screwiest hatch I've ever had! UGH!

how many barnevelders do you have left?

Quote: They do. I have a hatchery hen. My cross breeds have the green sheen as well.

Since I'm pretty new to this forum AND this is my first time setting eggs I'm not really sure how a hatch-a-long works

I just realized last night that I had accidentally set for Easter chicks. haha. I just bought the incubator and put in 10 eggs for fun to see what I'd get, wasn't even sure if they were fertile. We have chickens from next door that lay in our barn for some reason. I've only seen one of them and she's a red hen of some sort (what breed or mix of breeds I have no clue.) I know there have to be at least two hens laying in there though because I usually have 2 eggs every day. The neighbors also have 3 roosters of unknown breeds (1 columbian colored, 1 black, and one I think is a buff orp) so these eggs are a total mystery to me.

I candled last night and ended up tossing 2 quitters, but the other 8 look good. I'm pretty excited to see what I get.
