Little Hyram

[Detlor Poultry]

Little Hyram hatched early today.

Hyram now has a sister (Milly). She's a definite pullet (100% certain). Hyram is unknown, really. I just named the chick Hyram (actually I named the egg Hyram as a joke when I was candling it) and for the sake of not stopping myself to say 'it' or 'he/she' I'm just assuming it's a 'he' until further notice. Milly is a Cuckoo pullet (cuckoos are autosexing - that's how I know it's a she - pullets have white patches on there heads while cockerels have little more than a white dot, or no dot at all)

Being completeyl stupefounded that you found that photo 'cute', here he is 20 hours later, in the brooder...

Ahh, his breed is going to be okay. Everything's going to be okay from now on, because of this little blessing, and many other blessings, such as the new 'Milly'
