Where did my clear, nice morning go? Snow and fog now...

It was dark here this morning. There was a sprinkle of rain drops and now it is sunny but the temperature has dropped to 45°F from a high of 52°F. Of course the wind is still blowing.

Thank you all for your responses. After reading the advice it does seem that either the eggs dropped a little too hard or got stepped on.

Ok, got these 2 RIR from a friend. I'm thinking one is a roo what do you think?

Do you know how old they are Twinmom?

the friend I got them from said they were hatched in september 2018

The bigger one has greenish tail feathers and a much larger comb and wattles than the other. I will try to get better pictures but they do not like to be still.

Look at the saddle feathers to see if they are pointy or rounded. Pointy = cockerel, rounded = pullet.

If you can, use a flash and it will freeze them in place in the photo and eliminate the motion blur as long as it is motion blur and not camera movement blur. If a flash is not available, take the photos in a brightly lit area so that a faster shutter speed can be used.

Also back away far enough that you can get the whole chicken in the photo.

here are some more (better) pictures of the suspected roo.

Absolutely no suspicions. Definitely a cockerel.

Agreed! Does that work out ok for you @TWINMOM9201?
