Congrats people, well out of my fridge eggs I got a total of 7 chicks. we took pics, I am not computer skilled so waiting for hubby to put them up. the chicks names are, Jan, Helene, CeCe, Cathy, Carol, Val and Nelly. I got the names from the T.V. show... the office.

chicks are, EE/RIR mix, and 5 coocoo maran/mystery mix. the dad was CCM the moms were all different, speckled sussex, EE, RIR brown leg horn and more CCM. I have 4 oldest ones together an waiting for others to dry and get stronger.

My 7 (pullets

) are doing great! I set up a small wooden box bed sized for them, covered with a handmade chick sized baby quilt ( I have made dozens of them) the box raises the chicks slight towards the heat. I have been doing this baby quilt thing for chicks forever, they love them. The first 3 days they are not too messy, and I noticed the chicks really treat it as a bed and hardly mess it up. one time I saw a chick poop on it and the other chicks acted like, "whata go n'do that for?"

I can finally get some sleep until my next batch of six pop. I have them in a smaller homemade bator,8''x9'' box 15w light with heat sheild and metal bowl,holds the heat much better than a copier paper box.. been in for one week doing great! And I found the pesky draft that might got to some of the other group gggrrrr! any way air cell looking good.
