These are three of my grandson's eggs. I hatched them in my incubator and they are such sweet birds. I think they are my favorite probably because it was a lot of days making sure everything was alright with temperatures and everything else that goes with an incubator. It was worth it. They are a mixture. Two Rhode Island Red mixtures and I think Pearl is actually from two Americana or Easter Eggers. Love my birds.
They're beautiful!!!
It makes each chick more special when you hatch them yourself. =)
The duck week in the first picture is good for chickens, it's high in protein! =D
What is duck week? Is that the weeds that are growing in my run? I had to take my chick that I thought was a hen up until a week ago to my daughters to live with her. He turned out to be a cockerel. I know his sisters miss him. He was crowing a little to much this morning and I was afraid someone would complain. I had a hair appt. and I couldn't stay around and keep an eye on him so I just gave him up to her. They will take good care of him unless he messes up and then you know what.
