I've got Peachicks!!! My two India Blue hens sat on 13+ eggs together and I've seen 6-8 chicks so far. I hatched one Pied in the incy so far and two more scheduled to hatch any day. They are so cute. So egg-citing. If I have any left, I might have some at the swap.
My new Silkie hen...

@Tonya, hey thanks! I do have Russian Orloff. My hen is setting on a dozen eggs that will hatch about the 10th. Fingers crossed. One egg in hatcher right now too. Should have a few RO chicks soon.

ERIN!!!! What can I say! I never did the swap thing before, HAD A BLAST!!!! With my other half's other half (Kay) in tow & my chick box boy (Brody) it was awesome. Our neighbors (really our neighbors) Anne & Bob, we laughed & chatted all day! Met so many new folks, talked...

I'm bring a few Light Brahma chicks to the swap. They come from great lines and are big with lots of feathers on their legs. Nice birds. Big eggs. I might be bringing some egg to sell as well.
Don't know how, since all my Peahens and Peacock are India Blue, but I think my first little Peachick is Pied. He has white wings and breast/belly. That is way cool. So cute and gentle. Also, two white ShowGirls out and running around. 10 more eggs to go. 7 more Peaeggs to go. Fingers crossed...

How did I know. I've been collecting feathers from all the birds and have a bunch of them in a big plastic bag. For what I knew not. Now I do. Will bring them Friday.
Went to turn my 6 Peachick eggs this morning and one peeped at me!!! The temp spike didn't kill 'em, just made them come early. They are now in the hatcher and fingers are properly crossed. Love to have some for the swap. Two hens are setting on over 13 eggs that should hatch about the 25th...
I must confess... I may be your "leaker". I've called just about every newspaper in the area. Pumping up the volume a bit.
Everything is gonna go great!!! Lots of people bringing chickies, lots of people buying chickies and a good time will be had by all.
I think we should all give a great...
