I have one that's almost 8 weeks now. I'll try to remember to get a picture tomorrow. Mine feathered out really pretty!

If you want the kids to be able to watch development by candling, eggs that are white or cream colored are amazing.

How old?

You could check with Rachel at Gypsy Hen. Her Blues have gorgeous lacing. I've had really good luck with her shipped eggs.

What colors are your EE's laying? How dark are the Barnevelder pullets laying?

He's so handsome! I love how much color he has! My Bielefelder has similar issues, lol. I did finally hear him crow yesterday, so :fl! His crow was definitely a change of pace from the squeaky little bantam crows I'm used to.

Did the hatchery you purchased from sell Olive Eggers by any chance? She looks like she could be French Marans x Cream Legbar mix to me.

I would wait! Sometimes the does are weird if you bother her kits, especially first timers.

:love Oh my goodness! They are gorgeous!

:lau Good one!

I'm with @Alexandra33, I would guess slow maturing cockerel. The leg size, comb & wattle development, and lack of a tail make me think cockerel. My understanding is that you have to keep breeding back to Black Orps to fix the feather quality.

I want to say it was right at 65%! A couple have started laying so far! I should have kept them separate because I can't tell them apart now. I just have quail, but I had a very positive experience. She packages really well and is super easy to deal with.

These are the blue eggs and standard Coturnix eggs I purchased from them. If I understand correctly she selectively bred her regular Coturnix overtime to get her blue eggs layers. The photo she shows on this page is the progression I believe. https://www.alchemistfarm.com/alchemist-blue-quail/

Will the top part with the holes pop off the one you already have? I did that with mine until they were big enough to use it with the guard, I just put it back on when they got big enough to start making a mess.

I love my Bielefelers. I would definitely reccomend giving them a try with the goals you have.

My scissors remove the end completely. Is that not what y'all are doing?

I forgot my last hatch too. :lau 31 quail pick-up was a blast! Those little jokers are so dang fast!!!

Did you refridgerate any of these? (Just curious.)
