Welcome to the Texas thread!

Came back on at 8pm. Hatcher was at 97 when it came back. Brooder babies in garage were good. Had to move an out side Brooder baby to the garage group and lost one from the mom's outside to drowning. The late eggs I opened this morning and they probably quit before the power outage. The others, I only candled a few are moving and talking. The one that piped is still talking but hasn't zipped yet. Hoping to see a baby when I get back from work.

Wanted to give an update on this, I did a live chat with Ideal, gave them my order # and asked if they knew what these 2 extra feather legged chicks were and why they sent them (I'm not complaining, free is great) they said they were blue stars and that "occasionally they have feathered legs" I don't understand why because they are a mix of a blue Andalusian and a barred rock They sent the extras because they had a large number of chicks hatch.

I remember a thread where someone was talking about a similar mix-up. Ideal told them that same thing. As it turned out the hen was a blue cochin.
