Beer of course! Why you think they are all laying down for a nap in the middle of the day?

Are you serious? What color? What egg? Come on, don't tease, inquiring minds want to know!

Good job!


PS. I need a picture ASAP! I'm a Grandma again!

Well, ok... grandma! The one in the top of the picture is one you marked LP/SP.



The one on the left came from my Black Shoulder pen and looks to be from a Cameo hen.


The one on the right is from the Pied pen. The one zipping is from the IB pen and was stuck and shrink wrapped, it is out now and doing fine. The one in the upper right corner is stuck too, but it's all good now.






When I got up this morning I checked the incubator right away because of the storms last night will sometimes turn the turner off. To my surprise two chicks had hatched and yours was sopping wet and out too! I had them marked to hatch out Monday and today I was going to put them down in the hatching tray in the Sportsman, one beat me to it and the rest we put down there, luckily none got stuck in the turner. I didn't think there was enough room for them to hatch in the turning trays but there is, obviously.

The IB zipping in the pic and the BS/C next to it both had to be helped out probably because the humidity was only 60%, I put a sponge in and it is now closer to 70%. Five out and three more piped, I will candle your BG egg tonight but I think it wasn't looking good the last time I checked it earlier this week.

Thanks for the pics! You better hold on to that one! Looks like a very showy loud pied to me. It may not fit FBC's criteria exactly, but to me I'd say "loud pied" definitely. If it's a male, it's gonna be a eye catcher. Here are Dad and Mom.

Nice looking pair!

Ok silly question here, are blue shoulder and Indian blue peas the same thing?

 

[DylansMom]

Nice looking pair!

Thanks, your little one carries the same genes so he/she could eventually produce some silver or loud pieds for you. These 2 are my favorite pair and they have produced some really nice vigorous chicks this year and last year as well.
