You should get some! You can order them online from Stromberg's!

Very pretty!

Looked on Strombergs...Holy Cannoli! They're quite spendy! Over $200 for a pair...sigh. Guess I'll stick with quail for awhile, lol.

These would be 4 EEs and one barnyard mix

@Finnie Thanks! Time will tell I guess. At this point I would be happy with any as I wasn't expecting any of my hens to go broody, especially my Leghorn! I can either post again in 2-3 weeks or maybe just send them to you via a PM

I agree with @farmerjan . #4 has male color in his wings. I can’t see any of that in #1, so maybe maybe not. I need to go back and look at my guesses from last time you posted. Assuming you kept their numbers the same.

numbers are the same---fingers crossed some of your thoughts have changed since I think it was only 1 girl out of 5 before I don't need answers right now, I was thinking at 8 weeks I would look to you for some more solid thoughts on genders, for now I am just trying to get a handle on reality so that I can find homes for them.

Is this one a rooster? Born July 2nd. He/she is a mix of Cubalaya roo and mother is a Sebright. One is already crowing but the feathers on this one's tail seem like a boy but not crowing yet. #2 is a boy for sure. His comb is red and crows, or at least tries all day long. Named him Kikiriki.

I think I lost my first bird today. Jlo hatched on july 2nd. Could not find her. Hopefully she will turn up tomorrow.

You

broody hen had 3 eggs kicked out of nest this morning when I opened the coop--ice cold and 2 were cracked. I opened them up-two looked like saddled/detached air sacs...the 3rd was severely underdeveloped for day 18.

candled the remaining 3 and all were wiggling. Hopefully they make it the last few days....

You probably have an incubator to keep them going. I have heard so many broody hens that don't finish 😳 Glad my tiny sebright did good, way beyond.
