We will be round Monday for snuggles, I will make sure Zoe has deep pockets so when your not looking Sage & Zoe I may head over Sunday to see the chicks if Chickwiggle is in, and will do a full head count so will know if any go "missing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 awwwww Glad you've still got 9 babies though. So exactly which eggs hatched then of which breeds? I can't remember what I gave you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Only 2 of the 9 were mine, another died, I think Sandie mentioned some of your buffs were hatching. Let's just hope they are all girls and that Sandie gets her green egg layer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Right, to be honest, im not 100% sure, i did tell you id forget didnt i After painstakingly noting down exaclty which egg went where in the incy, after they hatched they didnt stay in the same place naughty chicks Anyway, I have taken a picture of each chick so you can see and hopefully tell me for definate which is which. I think i know which is which but not sure so will leave it to you what do you think? 1 Buff Sussex? 2 3 4 5 6 This is the same chick no.6 7 8 Buff Sussex? 9 this is no 9 again They could be ; Buff Sussex Welsummer Brown leghorn Aracana/corton blue x buff sussex Columbine blue Columbine green Its the black ones have me stumped, i didnt expect that. Over to you Mostin and Omeletina, they're your eggs! Oh just cross posted with you Omeletina, im really not sure if 2 or 3 are yours, have a look and let me know what you think? I dont know if i am ever destined to get my elusive green egg layer Edited March 19, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 3,4,6 & 7 are not very good are they, i will try again tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I think you said a green and a blue egg hatched from mine, in which case they are columbine females crossed with araucana male so would imagine they would be two chicks who would look the same. The speckled died. I'm guessing the welsummer egg is still in the incy and nothing happening! My brown leghorn lays a white egg so think they are still in the incy too, and my coral nick white hen lays the giant beige eggs (think it cracked?) The black ones could be Mostin's corton blue mix, think some of the other chicks she has from a corton blue mixed with something else are black? Whatever they are they are mightily cute!! I really hope you can get a green egg layer out of them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Has number 9 got wonky toes on one foot? Freja, my green egg laying columbine has wonky toes on one of her feet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 DNA paternity testing? All very cute you are going to have lots of arguments over them. Sorry about the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Having played with the genetics calculator quite a bit I can venture that the default colour for most crosses is black so that chick could be almost anything. The obvious exception being Buff Sussex! The calculator is here: http://kippenjungle.nl/kruising.html select 'help pick colour from a list' unless you want to be hopelessly lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
