you can easily tell, first off by how many days it has been incubated, chicks take 21 days to hatch. The other way to tell is the blood. a normal fully mature chick wont have any blood when it hatches.
What type of chicken is the mother?
The momma is a Delaware hen

Do you keep all your babies?
Yes

What do you do when they get older?
et eggs from them

Are they shown?
No I dont show my birds, they arent Show Quality

I'd like to show chickens one day, but that won't be for a long long time as I know nothing about them. I'd like to have my children involved in 4H. I think it would be fun.
I know alot of people that show their birds, and they do have lots of fun!
