I was cracking up when I read your question, it was quite the 'mission'. My 8 yr old kept corralling the chicks back onto 'set' bellowing 'I'm Animal Control! I'm Animal Control!'. I believe the chicks finally figured out, 'if we just sit here, the red-head stops grabbing us'.

I was going for Mother's Day here... It's okay.

Well my last chick had to be helped out this morning. She is a beautiful silver blue. I was unfortunately disappointed last night to find out that they are crosses (astralorp and jersey giant) so back to the drawing board for me. I guess they will be pretty egg layers instead of what I was hoping for.

Does anyone on here sell B/B/S Jersey Giants that actually are giant? My two pullets are big, but not as big as I thought they would be (granted they still have some growing to do)

Update: I think I'm at 57 chicks plus 5 that died pipping.

That's great Melissa Rose. I'm hoping you get all brown ones! None of my Ia Blue that hatched were brown but I have more in the incubator.

You are getting brown Ia. Blues? That seems contradictory
