How long (in general) does it take for them to start holding up their heads & standing? This is just so darn sweet!

It'll be a couple of days before his neck is strong enough. Right now he has a very big pipping muscle on the back of his neck and it starts to recede after hatching. Once that disappears, his neck will be a bit thicker and stronger and he can lift his head. Greys have hugenormous heads compared to other chicks (least the ones I've handled). They're a bit out of proportion when you compare them side by side with other species.

I think this one is a boy!

Annnd.. I'm off to nap right now, in fact! Woo sleep! lol Must rest up, in 2 weeks, I have 7 Hahn's a'hatchin'!

I still say you conspired with your Hanh's Tina... Of course, if they hatch now they will be ready around February, right??

Now I must know... how you can tell it's a boy?!

I am also wondering how you think it's a boy!

Or do you just want it to be a boy?!
