    I hatched 7. 4 weeks ago. Trying to get some laying hens so they can be my third breed. I might try and get some eggs to put in when these 28 CCLB hatch. Want me to get extras for you?

    LOL , we have 2 BR we got a few months back, maybe 2 months into laying now. My wife named them Thelma and Louise too. They are very sweet and dont run away and are among the easiest to pick up. They are usually first to come say hi when we go out to do a 'Chicken Check'

    Best of luck BlueBaby. It was great meeting you today. Let me know how they do. I like to keep track of fertility and hatch rates. Hope you get lots of girls. I find no Day 1 chick as cute as the little chipmunk looking CCLB girls.
