Too funny!
I have two beautiful chicks fully dried off now, more on their way but I couldn't ask for more. I am so happy!
One is SUPER dark! The other, by contrast, has some white on him. Ironically, the baby with white on him has a black mouth (inside) and comb. Which is interesting, because the other dark one has a lighter mouth and less obvious comb. I can't wait to see what they grow out to look like. They're both Cemani enough for me! The little black and white one, I might name him Domino. He keeps rushing to my hand whenever I put it in the brooder, and is VERY calm. A silent hatcher that completely surprised me. The other dark black one, not so much! Banty Wyandotte and Cemani hatching right now. Those sleepy babies, taking their time!
We've had about the same... a couple very black, a couple with a touch of white/white toenails and one that is half yellow half black. We're very pleased with this hatch overall. Alien is TINY, though.... he's about half the size of the others! Good luck with your hatch!
Thank you, thank you! DD likes the unusual... lol I guess that's why she was drawn to this breed to begin with!
It's hard to say at this point, because he's not real fluffed out yet - he looks silverish underneath a bit, but then it's hard to say. He's the one on the far right in this pic, next to the yellow/black one. He's literally about half the size of the others. But he is eating and drinking and joining the heap pile with the others. The one in the left hand bottom corner is very black. I know his beak looks like it has white but it's the red heat lamp throwing off the pic. It's actually very black. One of the ones in the heap has a tiny bit of white but they're all mostly very black I have to say. A couple are silverish underneath. Domino is the odd man out with his yellow stripes! Still no pips on the last one in the incubator. I'm thinking nothing will happen with it, but we're going to give it another day or two... doesn't hurt to wait and see!
