Sorry to report,
I got nothing. Due to a power outage, only two home grown birds hatched but none of the bluebars. So very disappointing for my first purchase of fertile eggs.
Congratulations! Those are some nice looking chicks!
I wonder what they are thinking... :)
I hope my hatching goes as well... Yesterday morning we had a power outage PLUS due to fluctuating temps (dropping so low at night) my cheap little incubator doesn't seem to be keeping a steady...

Maine!?! I love Maine!
The eggs arrived on Tuesday, I put them in the incubator last night...

I love the home grown chicks as they have such unique and beautiful colors but I couldn't resist the temptation...
