Any guesses on these guys? I know they’re too young to be 100% but doesn’t hurt to guess! I have a few more but I already know their genders. All but the Marans hatched mid April, the Marans are a few weeks younger
Penny is a black sex link(mom) Swedish flower(dad)
Bloo is a splash maran(mom)...
My babies lose interest once they’re in the grass (they graduate from brooder to chick run at 1mo, they graduate to free ranging with the flock at 2-3 months depending on breed)
They LOVE beads and bells. Anything they can jump and try to grab. Mirror had some interest for a short time- SUPER...
I messaged the breeder with updated photos on them and he confirmed they’re both hens! Just different shades as said. Teto(lighter) is still more of a golden and has more barring while Yakul is more red around the top of her head and less/smaller barring. Both are super pretty though
By the looks of it, I’m guessing maybe olive egger but didn’t inherit the cheek fluff? And maybe cream legbar for Dola? I can’t tell if she’s crested or just has teenage fluff. Whatever it is it’s not a dominant color it seems.. I wonder if Dola is pure (if she isn’t a cream legbar)
With her being a white jersey giant I’d imagine she has silver? The dad is golden. Prismo (the chick) is the only one I have of the DL x JG so I’m really hoping she’s a she 🥲
After reading that, I had to go catch my chick who has a pea/rose combed momma and single combed dad and I can totally see that now!! Mav (the blue chick) has the same just not as noticeable!
Her dad should give her what I’ve referred to as a “cushion comb” and I figured that totally canceled out the single comb from the mom but I guess not! I’ll try to remember to update this when she’s older
Prismo is a golden deathlayer(rooster) over white jersey giant(hen). She has always had a flat comb but I just recently noticed she has a single spike sticking out of it. Has anyone seen this before?
This is a golden Deathlayer(rooster) over lavender Orpington(hen), she’s about a month old.. maybe a little under.
Will she develop any color other than black with white/grey down feathers?
The first one is. Dola(the Brahma mix) is a few days younger
I’m glad Dola is looking in the clear!! But dang of course it’s my favorite who’s looking like a rooster 🤦
Agreed saline really saved my chick for sure! I used my piercing aftercare saline so I knew it was 100% sterile.
She didn’t open her eyes until she was 3/4 days old. She’s happy and healthy now!
Edit; I just saw your update. I’m so sorry :( you did your best. As sad as it is some chicks just...
Now Tombo and Dola are looking concerning too 😫 just recently learned 2 of my other chicks are cockerels too based off their color (ended up the mix made sexlinked chicks and the only 2 I got of that mix were cockerels)
