I just went and checked on the chick and it appears to be fully fathered (no naked neck, just looked that way right out of hatch)
Its a dark silver with brown patches around eyes. I will try and get a picture in a little bit.
Thank you for taking the time to explain this!! The ISA thing is so interesting.
The last chick hatched overnight and seems to be sparse of feathers on the neck so I'm thinking a turken cross! I was pretty sure it was a turken egg.
The suspect salmon fav girl? She could have only contributed one egg since I collected them all the same day. I'm assuming her egg is the olive green? If she truly is the olive egger that she was sold to me as.
The other two eggs must be from my brahmas if they have feathered feet, yes?
Yes the number next to the eggs on the plate correspond with the chick number. So chick 1 came from egg shell 1.
The baby blue egg came either from my legbar or easter egger hen and the olive green egg came from one of my olive eggers.
But - the olive egger that looks like a salmon favorelle...
We have had chickend for about 3 years now and this year is my first time hatching out our own and I'm curious if it is possible to narrow down which chick came from which hen.
We have a flock of 18 and only one rooster a Lavender Orpington. I got twelve eggs in the incubator, 8 seemed viable...
