March 2022 Hatch-A-Long

Oh my goodness! I love seeing everyone's chicks. My eggs go into lockdown Saturday.... nervous and excited. I hope I have some pictures to share soon.

I just set my call duck eggs! Is it like normal to be really nervous about a hatch?

Thank you!! I could not keep it together when that name was suggested and they all voted for it!

Bob the chicken, lol! I've been calling my broody hen's 2 pullets the Half Pints because they're so tiny. They're Japanese Bantam/Leghorn crosses but they definitely took after the tiny Bantam rooster. They look identical!

2 of my Porcelain D'uccles are hatched already, day 20, and I see pips on all but 3! Looking really good for a shipped egg hatch so far!

This little one looks like it is saying “what do YOU want?”

My little “accidental” Cochin/Silkie cross from an earlier hatch this month, is 11 days old today! It’s a little sweetie and does not look Silkie at all.

That's pretty much the feeling I got while trying to get its attention.
