I'm in love with this one!! So stinking cute!!

So what is the little guy/gal's name? Has it told you yet?

I just about brought another chicken home tonight. I stopped at Orscheln's to pick up chick crumbles and had to detour past the 'chick days' bins to check out the offerings. There was a half fledged little Buff Orpington pullet that was standing on top of one of their brooder cages. They use regular wood and hardware cloth brooders that somebody has built for them for their chicks and this little one kept popping up out of the top hatch of its brooder, running around on top of the brooders and diving back down with its companions. I stood there and watched it for a few minutes and asked it what it was doing outside. The clerk said, 'oh, she's been doing that all day. She comes out and visits for awhile and then pops back inside'. I told her if I didn't have more than I cared to count just like her at home I would be boxing her up and buying her.

In the mean time I have a Buff Orpington hen who is trying real hard to go broody on me. She is a first timer, walking around all fluffed up and clucking softly to herself and screeching like a banshee if I touch her. I put her in a nest with two fake eggs this afternoon and she looked at them like "what do you want me to do with these" and hopped out of the box. Screeched at one of the roosters who looked at her and ran outside. Like I said, just 'this' close. Oh well. Let's see, two bantams equals 1 hen, right?

That is why I stay out of places that sell ducklings...Which is pointless because despite my better judgement I put everything egg I find in the incubator...Who needs tsc when I can grow my own ducks

Most double yolk eggs do not hatch. When they do most times they are Siamese, two heads one body or more often 4 wings or 4legs. They don't live long in most cases because their organs are all mixed up or missing.

This one hatched sadly the other duckling died but they both made it to hatch and I now have a beautiful Drake named Ray
