Ll would be the short legged ones.

I have never had one of my BTW Japs hatch out with any black on their necks. I would say cross or hatchery bird.

Hope you get a good hatch from them. I wish my BTW hens would start laying again.

Oh ok, then it is likely a roo who just hasn't grown the sickle feathers yet. I can't tell on the legs as the wings are hanging over them and I can't see how long they are.

This little black chick in beside that HUGE EE chick is my newest black jap.

We aren't getting the cold weather just more and more rain, EVERY weekend!
