Well... we finally set our very own eggs grown here on the farm. It was a very exciting process. We collected them from the winter setup which was 2 roosters (blue orp & glw) and our mixed flock of black australorps, black orpingtons, buff orpington, glw & slw. Judging by the girls, I'd say these are mostly Australorp & Buff & Black Orpingtons and judging by the boys they all belong to the Blue Roo, and by the number of blue chicks I got!!!
The teeny tiny one was the one that hatched without fully absorbing it's yolk. She's doing well now, standing upright & drinking on her own.. started pecking at food too.
I'm SO HAPPY! We put in 7 pullets eggs and got 7 chicks!
So what do ya think of my little guys & gals?? I got 3 blue and the little buff faced one looks blue to me not so much black.
