I thought I would start a thread to document my adventure. The story starts here:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=98335
I came across this old thread one day. When I read it, the thread was over a year old. I wrote to Julie to inquire about these special birds she had, and asked if she would sell me some eggs, and she did! I purchased 2 batches, each a week apart. The first hatch was successful with 3 hatching on 1-29-2010. The second hatch was a bust ... none.
Julie said she has sent out eggs before, but no one has been able to hatch any. I feel so privileged and honored, to be the first to hatch Julie's eggs. And now, the adventure begins!
This is their first picture:
Here they are at age 1 week:
Here they are today, at 2 weeks old:
Here they are at 19 days old, on 2-17-10
