Ok TO... ALL of my Marans in one classroom hatched! They aren't due until tomorrow around 2:30! Look like all BCM to me, but they are still wet looking. I didn't check the egg shells for how many came from the black//blues. That's 5 chicks in there. If you want to drive here and get a couple, you're welcome too...

In the other classroom I have the 3 lavender Orps and 2 Marans. One of the Marans hatched and it is Very light silvery/white. I think that would be called a splash? At first I was thinking it was a LO, but nope. I think the LOs will be the last to hatch because I SO want them to! The wait is killing me!!!

Anyhow...I have 6 new chicks today! It is a GREAT day!:

Kristip sorry to hear about  your aunt.  Sorry to hear about your's too Dr H .     Mazo Joe Welcome.

So I don't know squat about Marans. What's yer point?     

 

Cind, the elastic on my saddles is pretty soft & is about 1/3 of an inch wide.

I remember watching WKRP in Cinci too, but wasn't gonna admit it, until Bf4 said something.    I really liked that show too.

    Sorry to hear about your aunt, DrH. Keep an eye on those PRs. Once mine hit 2 1/2, they started dropping like flies. I've only got one left, and naturally she had to be the b!tch of the group.

Awwwww, you poor, poor guys! You're just so abused.                 

 

Angie, have you tried sorbet instead of ice cream?

 

Don't go breaking that fancy new computer of yours trying to figure out your pics, Jim. 

Whoo-hoo on the hatches so far, Bf4! 
 

 

Ready for some baby pics?

 

 

 

Congrats on the chicks Bf4m !!! Hope the lavenders hatch.

 

Sorry to hear of so many ill family members. That's what sucks about getting to our age. My Aunt is failing as well and refuses to even talk about going into a home. She is almost past the stage of going into assisted living since she is blind in one eye now and the other is going quickly. She falls asleep and doesn't take her nightly drops. The doctor said he refuses to operate unless he is guaranteed she takes her drops 100% of the time. He said she will go blind for sure if he operates and she doesn't take them. Eventually she will go blind anyway. It is very sad. She wants to die in her home and refuses home care either. My sister is run ragged.

 

Anyway, Yes Doc, I changed their names to Larry and Lulu for now. I like the name Lulu, not sure of Larry. Ernie and Ellie was to hard to say. Didn't slide off my tongue. LOL

 

CC, Meaning Maran eggs as copper color, I don't think you could have missed that, or maybe ???? LOL Those chicks are adorable. It does look like you have two blacks and a lavender or blue. It is light so i think it is a lavender.

Hey CC, don't mean to stir up any hard feelings but you may want to look at that thermometer. If they get their head in it and pull back they could basically hang themselves. just sayin.or tape a piece of cardboard to the back so they don't get their head in through the openings. Just sayin.

 

I just saw more pictures of CC chicks with out the Satan red lighitng... they are UNBELIEVABLY gorgeous!

 

I guess I wouldnt mind having the wrong color Orpingtons either if they were that cute. Now if only she wouldn't have cooked them at the wrong temp to make all roosters...

Who exactly is the sassy little snot here????? 
 

 

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

I expect the Lavender lavender to be named Heather...or Angel... Since they're one and the same...
