We clearly haven’t been filling the thread with enough nonsense then!

Are they all male or do they have bigger combs than I realised?

The one closest to the wall is the biggest and I'm thinking that's the male with 2 females. Combs all look the same and of course don't redden up to give a hint there, but they're much smaller than the Marans which I gather makes them slower maturing, Males only get to 5.5 lbs., females 4.4 lbs.

If all goes well with the hatch, here's what I set for eggs and method to the madness....All will be separated at lockdown into hatching bags.

14 Copper- sold all pullets, need more.

4 Lil Jessie- have1 pullet, 6 littles. She is Joannies Granddaughter.. so yeah.

7 Raven - have 2 pullets, need more.

8 W/W - sold all pullets, need more. She is Ravens daughter.

3 Black- she's unconfirmed BCM or MMM. Only have Lil Black, need more to confirm. Lil Black lays a really nice egg so yeah. (See pic below)

7 Christy (OE) she's in with Poppy, this could confirm what he's hiding.These could be funky Black or Blue with gold/Silver leakage.

3 BCOE drab colored (Army?) pullet eggs.
2 BCOE pullet eggs.
I sold these 2 pullets, so why not see if I can hatch them.

This next pic shows Lil Blacks egg color, she's raising babies currently so couldn't set any of her eggs.

A new layer today. Lil Jessie's daughter and Joannies great Granddaughter (F3) layed her first egg.

I could always get you hooked on heritage turkeys. There is a distinctive lack of turkey breeders everywhere and I would like to encourage more of them.

Kong is close enough to a Turkey for me.
