First chicks are due to hatch on Sunday! have seen a couple wobbling about a bit, Will get some pics of them asap! In this first batch there will be welsummers l/f, lavender araucanas and a couple of orpingtons and/or dark brahma. I have the brooder all set up ready just need the little guys to hatch. the welsummers are sexable on hatch but the others could take up to 6-12 weeks till we know whether they are gonna crow or lay an egg.
