Mavis hatched 4 chicks!

[Bephlam]

These hatched on Monday, but I haven't got round to popping on the Vine!

We have 4 in total, but only 3 were hatched when I took the picture.

8 chicks in total now over two girls...lets hope they are ALL girls! (if not, anyone want a lovely Araucana cockerel, or two - will travel! )

Congratulations to Mavis!!

[RedThorn]

Aww bless! they're great

[lettucegrow!]

seriously cute! what age can you tell the sex? I'm going to have to get organised and get some fertile eggs-gotta do it!

[Bephlam]

Depends on the breed...if you're lucky (and clever) you'll buy a sex linked breed. But, I wanted araucanas...so just have to wait and see. They are notoriously hard to sex though!

Soooooo cute. Even if you could tell the sex at birth could you cull??? Don't think I could.

Gorgeous - loving all these babies!!

I bought a POL Lavender Aracuna once. Next day it was crowing They all look so similar. He got taken back to the breeder and swapped for a girlie.

They're really lovely!
...brings a big smile to your face doesn't it!!!
