Meet George! S/he's our first IB hatchling of 2017; popped out days earlier than expected!
S/he scared the bejeebers out of me when I walked in & saw this:
It turns out s/he just loves to lounge!
I've still got two other pea-eggs in the 'bator & a clutch baking beneath their mama Lucy, out in the henhouse. Oh, & our Narragansett gobbler--yes, I typed GOBBLER (not "hen")--has a pea-egg cooking beneath him along with his clutch of turkey eggs & duck eggs ... It's going to be an interesting spring around here!
Another shot of George, just because s/he's adorable!!
Love seeing pea chick pix and sharing mine, too! I only have 4 right now but hope to have plenty more soon.
I record mine with photos and in a record book so they are somewhat labeled already in these photos.
Super is a Purple BS peacock and is in with an unrelated Purple hen so I am excited with their first hatches this year.
My Opal pen is new this year. I have had these Opal WE hens 2 years and bred to Bronze the first year and then to SP last year but this year they are back with their son to give me more Opal WE.
