I am certain that I switched out the hens eggs for a CM and Del. Now the Del could've been iffy as the roo is in w/ a mix of hens. But the CM could be none other as the CM's are seperate. However this chick doesn't look like the CM's posted w/ Cackles. site. They are a week old but this chick never had any white on it's chest that I recall. Could I have made a mistake? Now the hens and roo are from a private breeder and definitly CM's two of the hens are from Ideal and they are lighter than the private breeder hens, which lay darker eggs. The eggs that hatched one was Del and the other lighter than private breeder eggs, so I figure it was from an Ideal hen. Does any of this makes sense? The chick does have black feet. Anyhow the broody was a Dominique and the chick doesn't look like a Dom/Del cross and while there are Blak Aus. in w/ the Del roo the chick doesn't look like a Bk Aus chick either. He's/She's feathering out nice, but it's chest is blk.
The third pic is of a Del / SlW cross. It couldn't be a Dom/Del cross could it? This chick was hatched in an incu.
I intend to move the Dels to their own pen in the spring and put the CM roo in w/ the mix of hens as I can easily tell the CM eggs as they are darkest of all the eggs.
