Oh, you know I love these!Check out that white SG! Love it! You need more.
It was a seller on EBay. She had crossed White Crested Blacks with a Black NN so they came out with the white flower heads and black bodies.
Sally, have to say, cracking up at those look a like photos of men and their NN hair cuts..if they only knew!

When I was convincing my Cochin hen Lena to go broody (I wanted her to have some of the shipped eggs, partly so that I wouldn't have so many chicks under one hen, and partly because Lena has hatched before and I know she is a good mother), I gave her one of her own eggs to sit on. Cochin that she is, she was broody by that night! Since it was only a few days before the shipped Calico eggs arrived, I decided to leave Lena's egg with her. On Friday, it hatched!!
Today, one of the Calico eggs pipped! I can hear cheeping inside some of the other eggs as well! This is day 20 for them, and hopefully I'll have chicks tonight or tomorrow!
awwwwww congrats!!!
awesome!!!!!Well, we have at least one chick that hatched.
Went to go check on my broody and heard some peeping.
WELCOME!!! what are you hatching in and under all that! lol Glad you joined us!!
Ouch! BUT, did yo u get to watch it?? Hope it feels better! Hopefully its an outside wedding and you can go barefoot!I knew I had a chick zipping, sat down to talk with my hubby a bit, then remembered the chick, ran..silly me..to get to the bator, rammmed...yes, rammed my pinky toe and the next one into a doorway, really hard. Pretty sure it's broken. :/ Man that hurt! All to watch a chick hatch! It's doing a nice swell up job..I've broken this pinky toe before. I've broken both pinky toes before. Am I a clutz? I guess.I fell on top of the brooder. Poor babies in there thought an earthquake had happened. I have my son's wedding to go to next Thursday. Hope I can wear a shoe. :/ I'm so mad at myself. This is the hatch for a friend..A Barnie is first to hatch.

Yikes! Why would she keep breeding!Yes, I am starting over. That was last year. I now have 13 hens and a rooster plus my first chicks from them
She didn't care when I told her. She wouldn't issue me a refund and she wanted her chicks back.
Must not check.... Already gots a full bator... Must leave alone.... Must wait....
