Just a guess!

x2

I could tell my roos 5 out of 6 at 2 weeks and I didn't now anything about chickens. So soon enough it will be obvious, but I think she is right. Trisha will you do that for my 26 babies and the 14 coming????

I don't even know what is what in that box! Some are labeled some I just don't know!!! I have 6 Barred rocks and 2 barred EE and only two have spots and both are roos (one blue

and one black)!!!! Why no spots?? The barred rock roo would make all the babies barred right? I have 10 more BR and 4 Barred EE in the bator now we will see what pops out this time from the same parings. Only Roos I promise!!!!

Carol let me know if yours have spots.

I candled my eggs just now. I can see movement in 13 of the 25 eggs.

I was going by the shape of their faces so I could be totally off but I have fun guessing either way. I wish I could do that with the silkies. Man they are hard.

Donna I almost hate to ask but how is the chick? Of the 7 I hatched a few days ago all are growing fine as well at the ones at my friends house. I do think the turken in them helps. I hope the hens outside do as well hatching them, since this is the first time they have had eggs and not golf balls.

Lori I hope we have more babies and I am so excited to see my new little ones. I had almost forgot how much fun babies are. I could watch them all day long.

Connie I look forward to showing against you. You should come here sometime and I will show you how I get mine ready. And I may even slip you a few hints. Either way I look forward to whooping your butt. hahah

I have to break some of the broodies first though. Love you gurl!

He died and so did the pasty butt girl. They were not growing at all so it was for the best I am sure. Thanks for asking.

it's that time of year when Scouts kicks in then we are at the gym so much throw in a little school work then I'm still working on a weekend get away for us plus the trip to Indy AND 2 Scout camping trips all before the first of Nov.
Then if that's not bad enough work is making me work...used to be I could do estimates in minutes even tell people a ball park number over the phone and get it real close...those days so long ago now. Today I got to estimate the cost of...wait for it..wait for it...a handicapped dog ramp..yes work has gone to the dogs

I have the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte's for sale..I will separate them some..1 Roo about 5 months old he's real nice,a few small 2-4 month chicks honestly I haven't paid any attention to what they are want to sell all of those in one bunch
Also selling the Lavender Orpington flock..1 roo 4 hens 1 black hen all 7 months not laying yet
Pair of Black Orpington time is flying so close to 3 months

Baby Bunnies-1 Lionhead little girl left she's sweet and 1 blue eyed white mini rex that will be ready around Oct 1st still no idea what it is..they are as bad as baby chicks

Is anyone else in the mid Tennessee area raising Standard Dark Brahmas? I would love to see what someone else is keeping for breeding and /or showing and have some more experienced advice on selection.
