I am in Waleska, GA

Welcome. Although I'm from the opposite corner of the state, I know somebody from Waleska

Welcome, although am South of Atlanta.

ShadesofSable is hatching some of my chicks at the same time I am!  We are having fun comparing notes!  I have three hatched out and 8 more pips so far.  (Had 22 to start the lockdown with although I think one was bad but let it ride)  One of my dark Marans eggs from Newnan is pipping and 3 of the Mottled Orpingtons so far!

The newest out! One more already zipping, too. Hoping for lots more pips by morning!

good luck! I have 11 in the hatching bator, keeping a close watch on temps and humidity. I am hoping for a much better hatch rate than the last one. just went to lockdown yesterday, I know I could have a few pips in the morning, but I'm not expecting it

I candled my eggs and a couple look like they are not fertile and I saw what I think is a blood ring in another, but it is still a few days early so I am waiting

before I remove any eggs

Good luck on yours as well! I'm going to try to get some sleep. (If I can!)

What is that chick in the picture above the eggs???

That is an Araucana, next up Whiting True blue and I think the one with the ball on her head is White Crested Black Polish.

that this was good info

Super excited! I got a Swedish Isbar for the green eggs and a Cream Legbar for the blue eggs. Both are now roosters apparently and will not lay very good eggs at all. Also the breeder is out of both of these breeds and only has beige egg layers left. So here we are back to white, cream and brown.

Cream Legbars are sexable at birth. My male had a yellow spot on his head, the females had brown spots.

Auto sexing only works if the wife of the breeder isn't the one picking the birds out of the brooder and if a marsh daisy didn't sneak into the cream Legbar pen.

LOL, well, there is that. I know the guy I got mine from made a point to show me the females and the males.
I got 6 females, one male.
