Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

Aaaaahhhh! I couldn't take it anymore! One of my LO was zipped and trying to come out and the b@stards literally had one on each end and one on top!!! So I shook the Brinsea some, tried to draw some away with a flashlight. It popped out, so pathetic looking, and the bully one went over to stand on its head! So I untaped the seams, quickly removed the egg shells to give them more room. Then I Had DS 2 get me warm water and a paper towel. I grabbed the last pipped egg (LO), wrapped it in the moist paper towel, and rushed it down to the hovabator. There are 3 marans in there too, but a lot more space to not stomp on a single particular egg.
So I do have one Lavender Orpington hatched. It looks pretty dark... But it's wet... So we'll see.

Hmmmm..........my only lav was very easy to discern, even when wet. It was silvery. The 2 blacks were dark.

I hope your other one does better in the other bator.

Sorry!

Well, I finally got some decent, unblurry pics of Moosies babies. Don't worry about the one in the back looking away. I know for sure he is a roo. I call him Mini Moo (se).

Here is the one on the left:


The one on the bottom (front) who I'm thinking is a roo so not a great pic, and the one above that:


The one furthest to the right that was looking backwards:


And the 2 biggest mysteries: the buffs! I'm thinking the one with the rose comb is a female, but the single comb has me guessing. At first I thought female, but now I'm not so sure.


Rose comb buff:


Thanks for your imput in advance!

They are such pretty boys!

Oh CC... i think those are hard ones! It became so easy for me because he was just all of a sudden pinking up on the comb, and his wattles started showing up...

But the buff one in the last pictures sure is nice looking! With the pissy look on its face, i have to think that one is a girl!
