Utah!

I have 11 Australorps, and the 2 EE's that I put in hatched! I really didn't think that one of the EE's would. I went into lock down with 14 Australorp eggs, and the 2 EE's..only 3 Australorp eggs didn't make it. Not too bad. I forgot how the Australorp look like little baby crows in their faces, and into the teen times, then, they become that beautiful black hen. Babies!

OH, I have a pip in the BLRW's. They are due to hatch tomorrow. I am worried that I only have one pip now, because I had so many in my Austrlorps by now. Plus, I put them in a still air bator to hatch. Will be watching until afternoon, then take a peek in one of them if no others have pipped. They were really full in the egg, and ready to be in lock down for sure. 8 in there.

Lots of Aussies, yay! So glad the hatch went well. Now to find me a girl.......c'mon Cynthia wave your magic wand and pick me a out a hen ok? Did you say somewhere back there that is was a little easier to tell on these kind? Can't remember for sure....hoping you can do it Congratulations on all your babies. And the EE, wow that is great they both made it! What colors are you seeing in those?

 

[Cynthia12]

I do think it is easier to sex these..their feathers come out sooner than the Ameraucanas. I think I have a white EE! It's hard to tell, still sticky. lol..will have to clean it a bit, and the other one is sticky too. It will have different colors in it.

Hey, I now have two pips in BLRW's..whew..was hoping to start seeing more by now.

Lisa..waving my magic wand over the Austrlorps! Going to find that wand first!
