All I had to do was publicly complain and here’s her first egg! Pretty sure it’s hers since the Polish have been seen in the main pen where they sleep…
My splash Polish Sylvia just squatted for me tonight too 😯 She’s an August hatch too. My D’Uccles from May don’t look close at all yet and my Buttercup from April hasn’t laid either. She’s looked ready for monthssssss. This chicken thing is so crazy, I never know what to expect anymore lol
I thoughtttttt the EEx??? pullet had started laying, but she’s not been seen near the nest boxes yet. Who has been spotted numerous times in the boxes??? Miss August Pullet 🎉🎉🎉 She was the only WTB egg that hatched and it had a tiny crack too! I think she’ll be named Raven
Top right is her...
I’m having a hard time not hatching every egg they lay so I can sell the roos 😅 Boys need to calm down! Hopefully they mellow out some with chasing me and the kids, so far we’ve not lost anybody to hawks 🤞🏼
I got so incredibly lucky!!! So far I’m 95% sure the WTB/BCM is a pullet 🎉 The other two chicks are very obviously cockerels with screaming red combs/wattles 😅
Trying to decide if I should pop the babies into the brooder tonight or wait for tomorrow… They’re in a playpen with heating pad outside, low of 63° ish. Three week old chicks are already tucked in bed for the night
Widdle babies are fluffing up so nicely! The WTB (black chick) is crossed with BCM, little fluffy legs. I’m praying so hard it’s a pullet!!! Now that it’s not so damp, the mystery chick is looking like a Wyandotte cross 🎉
That’s amazing for shipped eggs! Congrats on a successful hatch!
Two very damp chickies greeted me with songs this morning 😍 The mystery egg and WTB, I’m so excited! Hoping I’ll make it for the third to hatch. No pips yet though
So exciting!!!!! Must remember to pop mine out in the morning 😅 A bit under the weather today, not boding well for our first week of school starting Wednesday. Poor kids are so anxious they’ll miss it. Maybe hatching chicks will cheer them a bit
