Griffin Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Do boys have head spots? I wouldn't say it's got a head spot, more of a yellowy white mohawk It's the biggest fattest chick I've ever seen so I'm guessing it's a boy. It's sibling is in no hurry to join it.

Redwing Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Its hard to tell from the pic. all my Marans boys had very obvious head spotsso were easy, in saying that I could have told anyway from literally a couple of days in as their combs started to grow really quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 The remaining Marans hatched just before bedtime last night I don't think the last egg will hatch now but this has been my most successful hatch because all bar one of the fertile eggs hatched and none needed assistance. For the first time my chick brooder is in the kitchen and it's nice to have the babies at eye level and not on the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
