Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[mixedbreeds]

I put 2 dozen eggs in the incubator 4 days ago should be cream Legbar, olive eggers blue icebar and a couple of Marans my Marans are not laying much infact everyone has slowed way down might be because of the badger they are all pretty wild eyed when I let them out in the morning.

That is tough our old lady gsd is loose at night she prowls the property I am very worried we may loose her if it turns cold

Hatchery pullets develop at different rates

Makes sense. It's just weird that they looked the same until a month ago and now I'm just more confused XD been looking through tons of chicken pics trying to see If I find one that matches that one hahaha.

It's hard to get a pic of the chick (elly) because it's not super friendly but its chest feathers (coming off the breast) go down the side of its body and actually come up over the wings on the side. You can kinda see in the pics.

If it is a barred probably cockerel being that light in color

They are not as dark as I have seen some other barreds but I am guessing that is just because they probably are not from a pure barred line. You know...typical hatchery stuff. Or so I have been reading XD

The lighting in this picture is causing them to look super grey(light colored) but they are darker than this pic.
