Chicks are hatching, today! The first two blue eggs produced black chicks.

LOL!! What color were the blue egg layers?? How many did you set in all?? Only 20 hatched???

Scovies are coming of age I think. The drake looks a little frisky. Maybe some ducklings in spring time?

You'll soon have more ducklings than you know what to do with!

You'll get a lot of ducklings they can set on anywhere from one to 24 or so eggs a clutch with anywhere from one to four clutches a year

You are such a sweet heart, but I will honor our deal. You can come tomorrow and get your share of them. I figure that is about half the hatch, or 10 chicks. You must promise to post lots of pics so I can see their progress as they grow and start laying.

Of course, if you can't come tomorrow, I won't be disappointed........

With these night temps they may need eachothers body warmth

(I honestly don't want to take your babies unless I'm setting YOU up with chicks you don't want. If you don't want them, I'll come get them. Otherwise.. Merry Christmas

The EEs were mostly a reddish brown with a gold or blond neck trimmed in black. The EE rooster was white with gold tinted shoulders. The other 2 roosters were BCMs. I set about 25 that were fertile, only 5 didn't hatch. They were coming off a molt.

Tomtommom - I really am just torn. I know it is because of losing the adults the way I did. I would have happily given you all of them, as long as I had the hens to give me more eggs. At the same time, they are just mutts (well, there are some hatchery quality BCMs in there that should lay nice dark eggs.) I guess I got too attached to my egg flock. Did I tell you I kept an old production red hen that isn't even laying anymore? I'm such a sap.
