Thanks, I guess I will know for sure in about a month or so.

Just got three silver penciled Egyptian Fayoumis straight run. How soon to tell the sex? Is it a wait and crow sort of thing?

I'm not sure why I ordered some, but I did and they are due next week. Hope they turn out well.

My first just hatched today, too! Congrats! Love the pic!

Search for "candling eggs". There's a thread with pics of embryo development. I use it to determine if my eggs are developing into chicks. Good luck!

These look a lot like my Americaunas as babies, but the legs are yellow, not green. Maybe a bit of everything? Gonna be pretty, though!

Here, here on the dogs! I raised chickens in the dead of summer in Phx AZ a year ago, and didn't loose one. Water and shade was all. Had BO's and they just panted the heat away. I hope I have as good of luck this summer with my larger flock in Waco.

Welcome from Waco! I had chickens in my tiny Phoenix backyard before buying 5 acres here, and it was alright. Just make sure you don't have any roosters and give the neighbors lots of free eggs! Best of luck with your permit.
