We are off season, or ahead of season. When I am ready mine are going for $10 a chick.

My New Year's hatch is now 3 weeks old. My goodness there are alot of roosters in that bunch. Since the boys get bigger faster and bump out the hen chicks during feeding, I took 5 pullets from the New Year's hatch and put them with the 5 chicks I hatched on the 11th. The New Year's hatch...

Still 12 in the New years hatch.

Regal and Reggae are now with the New years chicks. I was thinking I was 14 total. I had put in 3 extra eggs to hatch on Jan. 2. They were going to be a couple days late because a certain hen started to lay. I thought I remembered tossing a green egg because it was a dud. Well I still had eggs...

Reggae and Regal. Regal's comb really has shrunk since she hatched... Below is Regal with the bigger comb yesterday.

Regal is LO/EE and this is her sister, Regae. She just hatched. Even if you help a chick out (day 21) It is best to leave that bottom part of the egg on the chick so the chick gets strong legs kicking it off.

My baby chick "Regal" likes to sit by my face, but makes a big stink if I try and pick her up. She thinks that is weird. We are sitting on the couch and having cheese, salmon, salami, apple, and crackers. I gave her a bit of the salmon and crackers. And sips of egg water.

This is the chick that hatched today, it is bored in the incubator waiting for the other chick to hatch, I have it sitting on my chest. My feet are up we are warm by the fire. snow storm tonight. This is Regal. Too little to go with the New year's chicks yet...

Not part of New Years hatch, but I had put in an extra green egg and 2 tan ones to hatch today, because the green egg was from a hen, I wanted to see her babies, but the green egg was a dud. The 2 in the incubator are, LO/EE hatched and the other egg is peeping, is a silver penciled rock/EE...

I had 3 extra eggs I put in for the 2nd of Jan. 2 made it to lockdown and one has pipped. But is is not part of the New years contest.

When I was waiting for pips, I put on reading glasses and used a flashlight to shine through the window of the incubator looking at each egg.
