I've heard of it, yes. I personally think it's a wives tale here's an excellent article on all these types of sexing methods, including the "lay on back" method, where their effectiveness is tested among quite a few birds Article 'An Experiment in Chick Sexing Methods'...

This one's a looker though. Could we have some more photos of it?

Yup, I see very poor to no fibro, normal feathers, and mixed colours. Sticking with silkie mixes, especially due to the five toes. I don't think pure silkie eggs would've been sold at an auction house without the breed being mentioned at all

Wings too! That way we can see if they have silkied feathering or not

Definitely not pure silkies, but some of those look like silkie mixes

I'm so sorry about Dinky:hugs. Don't beat yourself over Dinky's passing, not all chicks will make it unfortunately. Some stars shine too bright for this world

Can't seem to find it, sorry. Probably between page 40 and 50, however

I think so :)

Not very experienced with this. Hope TwoCrows can comment soon. Maybe some electrolytes?

They hatched already! Maybe she'd laid them awhile back? Congratulations to mum duck for her hatching success. It's likely that your egg never developed

If that's the muscovy egg, they take way longer than chickens. Chickens take 21 days, while muscovy take 35. That said, I don't see any veins in this, but I am a very inexperienced candler

Thank you🥰!

Thank you. She was a character

Here's one. She's the bird closest to the camera

Thank you :hugs . She'll be missed Your little chick is special

So many already! Congrats!

You beat me to it:p

Omg you don't know how sweet this is. The first ever chick to ever hatch on my property looked just like that when she was first out of the egg (when she dried up some patterning showed up, but she was still mostly yellow). She pipped earlier than the rest, and had me worried through the night...

Now that you say it, it does ring a bell. If the seller did not specify the breed, then I agree that they're BYMs

Are they from eggs you ordered online?
