The 3rd chick is a showgirl - yippeeee
The previous hatch of show girls is a bit disappointing.
It looks like they are All males!!!
I won't jump the gun yet, I will give it more time before I sell them.
The poofs seem to have the longer jagged feathers I see in my other male showgirls.
sigh

See my other post on sex the chick, don't give up on the white one just yet, want to see a head shot of it. My 2 white showgirls I think are male as well. Darn

BUMMER ~ woke up Friday morning & the humidity was under 40!!!!
I don't know how the heck I missed it - I usually check before going to bed

I found a chick had pipped & the membrane had shrunk around it.
I helped the chick - so far it's ok, but I realize that can change.

There has been NOTHING since ~ no pip, no sounds, nothing.
Kicking myself for not noticing -

sandwich.
But I'm grateful for the 5 chicks I did get.

Oh

stuff happens, but humidity that low doesn't bother me just up it a bit.
