Thanks and no problem worth the wait. Your little ones are adorable. What are they?

Coolness. They are bantams. Daddy is an English Game and mama I guess is just banty. I'm not sure. Tiny tiny!

(Feather duster is a great idea. I've noticed though that mine like a little weight on them. Like it was their actual mother on top. Not too heavy. Still a good idea though.)

I thought they might be part oegb or welsummer they're beautiful

Yup you were right. Thank you. My banty,Bella,is setting on a clutch of 7. I'm hoping she follows through. As this will be her first brood. I'd love more banty babies!!! I'm wondering if I introduce Sable and Andy to her,if she'll take to them. Worth a try?

The waiting is agony!

I thought waiting for their mommas to start laying was tough. I'm dying to see if my chicks got their daddy's fluffy face.

These are shipping eggs that I'm hatching. I have 8 cream legbars and 9 jubilee orpingtons.

Now promise you won't laugh.....just a thought. I have two bantam chicks inside with me. I do not have a brooder. I've come up with a small cat carrier,with a heating pad inside,a washcloth over it and a little bit of pine chips. They stay very warm and cozy. However,I noticed they were having a hard time falling asleep. I thought about it and I had an epiphany! Lol what would they normally be doing right now if they were to be going to sleep with their mama? Yes! Nestling up under her breast. Snuggled in her feathers. So ,here's the part where you promised not to laugh,I put a stuffed animal frog in their house. Yep. A green plushy dog toy. And omgosh did it make a world of difference. It's the cutest thing. Every time they go nauny,they both get right up under Brea,the mama frog.

. I know it's usually different when you have multiples. My chicks that are about a week older are snuggling up at night and warm. Maybe this will give you an idea? Maybe just add a smile to your face.

And everyone else's here! Lol good luck sweetie! (Also added a blanket over the carrier as chicken have an internal alarm clock. Dawn,wakey wakey. Dusk,snoozy time!)

I love this idea. I was waiting for you to say you had them in your shirt, but a stuffed dog toy is a better idea and one we might borrow.
