Here are some photos of my four araucanas. They're straight run - and 4 weeks old. I'm trying to figure out how many boys and how many girls there are. Any opinions? Sorry for the poor quality photos - I had to take them with my phone. Got to get my camera fixed! I'm hoping for at least two pullets.

Carol looks like Pearl will have fun with all those boys!

LOL! You think so? It's funny because Pearl/Plato is the largest and most aggressive - and I've thought all along that Lacey/Lucky was a pullet until I looked at the pictures - and I can sure see roo in the photos - but didn't see it in person.

It is what it is - and I guess if I get one pullet out of the bunch, I won't be too sad - but I sure was hoping for two. I hate to think of rehoming three of them - I'll wait a few weeks until there's no doubt. I should get over my fear of roosters and keep at least one of them and breed my own. I've read so many stories of aggressive roosters - they scare me.

If they get nasty, send them to freezer camp;-)

All of the roosters I have now are nice fellas. We had a couple of butt heads, but they are history .
I will not be flogged , it just gets on your nerves.

Update, 2 chicks have hatched and i think 2 or three have pipped.
