The original 14 chicks that I hatched out are about 2 1/2 weeks old today and boy did they outgrow the first brooder quickly! I bought six more chicks that I figure are about 2-3 days younger than the 14. Well today I got them in a swimming pool and out in the garage, finally! This is the first...

Hi pcreel. Well I am not positive who's who but I have some in one group that are really developing a comb and tail feathers. In the other group there are some that have little tail feathers and feathers on their shoulders more so than the others of the same breed. I assumed that the ones...

My 14 are still doing great, surprisingly great really. They will be 2 weeks old in about 3 days and they are huge! I have some store bought chicks that are just 2-3 days younger than these that I hatched out and the ones i hatched are twice as big! And dang they are loud. They are still in the...

My 14 are doing great. ;) Tomorrow will be a week since the first one hatched so I finally did way with the remaining four eggs that didn't hatch. It looked like two were not fertile or at least didn't develope at all and the other two had small chickes in them that died along the way.

My 13 are still doing great. The one that hatched today is in the incubator with the last four eggs and he/she is not happy at all. It's been chirping most of the day.

No doubt I have had a huge dose of beginners luck or just maybe it was God having mercy on somebody that didn't know what they were doing. LOL I set 18 eggs and so far 13 have hatched and doing great. I'm using a still air LG incubator with no auto turner. I had a hard time getting the...

There are 5 of my 18 out and a couple more pips! I can see how this could be addictive. lol I wasn't expecting this to start until Sunday! ...I suppose I should sleep tonight, maybe. hehe

I'm a mama! LOL I set 18 Australorp eggs in the pm on Feb 17th. This is the first time I have ever hatched eggs and the first time I have even had chickens in years! I woke up this morning and I thought I heard a bird outside my bedroom window that sure did sound a lot like a baby chick. After I...
