Peeps are in the brooder with the older chicks. The older chicks acted scared of the little guys. Brooder is maxed out for right now. Silkies will be the first to get moved out in about 3, or so more weeks.

Okay, the new peeps survived with the older chicks in the brooder. Haven't done putting newborns in with 2 week olds in a while.
I'll be sexing them today, & taking pictures.

Anyone wanna predict how many boys, & how many boys? Just for fun. Also, I may include a bonus Oddball Silkie chick.

My Oddball. No black skin, & is Wheaten/Partridge split.

Okay, all are sexed. Will post in a minute. Also, the lighting was horrible today.

Only ONE cockerel!?!?

I hope so. That's what it looks to be. But, that doesn't mean I may have sexed a 1-2 wrong, which happens.

You're doing wing sexing, right? How accurate has it been for you?

I have about the same success rate as a hatchery vent sexing(Small Scale not large scale though). So, always a small margin of error.
