So far I have 41 in my incubators. Praying the other 10 get her tomorrow and aren't stuck at the PO over the weekend!! It has already been 4 days since they were shipped.
I have 21 BCM, 2 australorps, 6 OE, 6 Ermine Ameraucana, and 6 CCL.
Pics of them (the color doesn't even show the best...
I am hoping my last set arrives tomorrow!!!! They were supposed to be here today but hung out in FL from Tue till this morning. The others are going in tonight.
Still think both lavenders are Orpingtons? I saw on the site I got them from they have sapphire olive eggers and also Isabel leghorns I think it was, but think those have yellow legs and a white beak.
And think the buff one is the hampbar still?
Updated pics at 19/20 weeks..... Still thinking the same????
I need to get my coop cam up and running again to see if 2 are laying yet..... Still iffy on the lavender with the bigger comb... That one is thinner than the other one. Less of an Orpington shape...
Ok thanks. That is what I thought.
I am not sure what hatchery this person gets their chicks from. Guess I see what color eggs they lay if I can figure out who lays. Lol
Thanks. One of the lavenders was really throwing me off since it's comb got bigger and pink sort of early and the bit of a curve to the tail but didn't notice pointy saddle feathers still at 16 weeks.
What is odd is the lavenders looked different as chicks. One had a dark beak, one was light...
I picked up chicks and some breeds I wanted were substituted. The were all sexed pullets but questioning one, maybe 2. One I think is a prairie bluebell. The other 3 not sure. I know lavender for 2 but Orpington????
They are 16 weeks.
The red one I have no idea on breed, it is bigger...
my little Orpington that I had to put a hobble on (calling it Hobble. LOL) is doing well. I had to hold it near the water and food the first couple days and keep my finger under its butt so it didn't topple backwards. But now it kind of wobbles around and gets where it needs to go. I took the...
Awww poor swan!!!! Hopefully she is a girl!!!
None of the BCM made it. I eggtopsied them yesterday and it didn't look like any internally pipped so maybe gone before outage?? But I was right there was 5. The new eggs I put in I have 3 EE/cochins/Owlbeard mixes, the full Owlbeard never...
oh boy these hatches are just not working out for me. So the electric company changed out our meter today which meant the power was cut while they did it (I did NOT know they were doing it) and my incubators did not turn back on so I came home from work to cold eggs......... No new pips so I...
Woke up to the one that was pipped half way zipped. Watched for a while and no movement. Not sure what happened but think it died while zipping. I have never had that happen before. And as of now I don't see any other pips.
When Ioved the Orpington to the brooder and could look closer I...
