The Olive Egger meal maker is such a fun chick! Very inquisitive and a total snugglebug

Got a 100% fertility rate in my incubator, which is good. But I expect a few quitters down the line.

I just hatched 34/36 in my LG incubator, just local farm eggs I got from the store.

 

[Chickens are awsome]

Me: I'm not buying I'm hatching, I'm not buying I'm hatching, I'm not buying I'm hatching.................
Also me 2 days later: God those are some cute little millie fleur D'uccles & black silkies...

I now have these little floofs for my *projects*

4 millies and 2 black SOP silkies that are a week old

That chicken math is hard to resist! Especially when it involves such fluffer babies

I'll be picking up 6 silkies from TSC today.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Reason for the Silkies, is that my broody hatch was a complete flop. I don't think I've got any Silkie eggs left under them. I scrapped a quitter Silkie egg, & an EE egg that went bad.

So, out of the 13-14 eggs, I've got 5-6 left. I think.

Plus, my 2 original broodies, multiplied to 6.


So, the silkies will give us, 3, & our friend 3.

Wow, what a wonderful thread! I loved reading about everyone’s orders. So much variety. There are always cool breeds to checkout and investigate.

Also a shout out to the Utah peeps. I’m here too! Building up a new flock again after traveling.

17 barnyard mix local eggs (Utah County) on day 15, a dozen Black Copper Marans from a breeder (should ship tomorrow), then one final hatch of 2 dozen shipped eggs (from Central Utah). That should give me enough birds to grow out. With the ultimate goal of a nice colorful egg basket next spring.
