BBR cockerel hatched November 17th
Since I put these eggs in the incubator in staggered groups of 2-4, the ages on all my current chicks are up to one month apart. Above are pictures of several of the oldest chicks. The blue-silver cockerel is the oldest, and he is the only blue-silver as I did not feel the quality of my silver Phoenix were as good as the reds. That said, the chick is so far quite pretty and leggy. It's hard to tell what leg color I'm getting - the straight BBR's are slate with about 25% green legs, and the rooster has white legs, but the mixed chicks are looking yellowish green.
