7th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2016 Hatch-A-Long

[Mirajane]

Love those names! I do the same thing. Some of the chicks have names like miracle (Mimi) when she piped her foot got stuck in her pip hole and I had to assist the whole hatch once her veins were absorbed.
And I have joy. She pipped and then was basically glued to herself (not shrink wrapped though) and once I got her out her yolk sac wasn't absorbed, so I put her in a bowl in the bator to let her absorb it. I didn't think she would survive but she did! I think most names have a meaning

That's good! I saw in your info thing below your post, i don't know what to call it lol, you have 7 duccles. I want some so bad. Do you have the Mille Fleurs at all? Those are my absolute favorite, but no one here wil sell them or eggs to me because they all show them, and don't want me taking their bloodlines.

I have 3 Mille fleur cockerals for sale! Once the pullets start to lay in the spring I will defiantly have some eggs for sale, I don't show mine. They aren't show quality though...

Actually, they literally are. The one that hatched earlier is standing against it pushing it everywhere...

Now that it's peeping, it's trying to get closer lol.

Probably a little too extreme for him, but who knows. It's funny, the new chicks, if you put your hand cupped near them, they run to it and bury their head in, like you're their momma. They wanna snuggle. I might have one in bed with me tonight...

First chick finally hatched and is making her presence known! Very noisy in the bator and knocking all the other eggs all over the place. Hopefully she settles down and relaxes till morning lol

It is really cute how they do that. Mimi is the calmest and I often carry her around with me. All she wants is for me to hold her
