Congrats! How did the rest go? Would love to see pictured of them fluffed out.....

Looks like an Austra White or similar mix. My ROck Island chicks looked sinilar at this age. This is what they looked like when I sold them.

Welcome to BYC, Penny! I had given up chickens when we move to our currnet house 17 years agom but started missing them a lot a coupe of years ago. I talked Hubby into building a coop behind the shed so I could have 3 or 4. Now I have....ummm...lets just say a few more than that..... When...

Thatr's great! 3 days old practically fresh laid... Glad you finally came over to the Dark Side....

Here's to a great hatch!

I didn't either until I found this thread. Pretty cool!

I have heard the further you get from where they are produced the less likely they are to be viable....but it sounds like yours were not even actually fertile. Might want to contact them to find out what is going on. Maybe the producer for that area is not really using hens that have access to...

Not all TJ's carry fertile ones. Were these labeled as fertile?

Not too bad considering they have been bouncing around in the back of delivery truck.. I have some eggs I just set yesterday (not from TJ's or grocery) so we will be on about the same hatch schedule...
