I’m glad that it worked out, s/he will be coming home just as I have some time off of work!

I should know the gender in a week or so.

This will require weekly pictures at a minimum.

What an absolute cutie!! Can’t wait 😝

Hemingway is PRECIOUS!!

Those new feathers look really ouchy! I'm sure s/he will be glad when the sheaths come off and s/he is all feathered up.

How cool that you'll be getting her/him when you have some time off work! 💚💚💚

I’m super stoked that it panned out the way that it did.
I can’t imagine how annoying it would be to have that growing out of my skin

I just got access to the breeders live brooder cam too, so I can check in on him/her whenever. Right now there’s a baby splendid in there that will keep the South American weebits company for a while.

Looks like little needles, I want to open them.

So if Dad is a Dark Green Split Ino, Turquoise; and mom is a Greywing Turquoise…

Does my wee one have different splits or factors depending on gender? Or is s/he just “Dark Green”?

Alright, so we’ll know more soon but s/he is definitely a Dark Green. There is the possibility that s/he is a greywing as well, which would automatically make it a boy (but a non-greywing could be either gender).
Olive isn’t an option since only one parent has a dark factor.

It’s a boy

the breeder re-ran some math and it seems that boys from this pairing will all be greywings, and girls will always look normal.
Mine appears to be a greywing, so…ipso facto…. Male.

This makes the other two hens by default, so I’m defiantly not getting any of them to go along with Hemingway

I'd be on the brooder cam all day!
