4/6 are out now and the last 2 eggs are pipped, one on the wrong end. Looks like 3 are definitely boys. The 4th I think is a girl. I gave 2 of the chicks to a broody who has been sitting for a while and she seems to be accepting them. I’ll give her the others too if all goes well.

I hope she does great with them and the last 2 are girls!

Well my hatch is done, all 6 eggs that made it to lockdown hatched! The last one was a wrong end pip but she hatched just fine by herself. I ended up with 3 boys and 3 girls, gave them all to my broody hen and she was thrilled with them. She has been sitting for 3 weeks even though I took the eggs out of the nest every day, so she was very determined to be a mom!

I did not really get pics before I gave them to the hen, so I will have to get some in a few days with her. Here is one pic I got of one of the boys.
