August 2022 Hatch-a-long

[Ilovemychicks08]

A seller on eBay. I can get her eBay link if you want. I can't wait to get more eggs in the spring!

I had 16/22 hatch from that batch. 18/22 started developing the other 4 we're clear. The month before I got 12 from the same seller. Hatched 10 the other 2 we're clear. Amazing for shipped eggs.

How are the chicks doing now?

They are great! I still have I think 6 of them? They are going to new homes soon since I ended up keeping 4 of the ones hatched in July so had to rehome these. But they are just so cute! I ended up with 3 splash frizzles, and a blue frizzle. I will have to dig up some pictures of them. I can't believe they are 15 weeks already! I still have 5 of the roo's here and think one crowed the other day, it was the cutest sound!

Thanks. They are adorable!!!!!!!! I would have kept so many more if I had room for them. I debated on keeping the 2 girls I have left but I have 2 girls that I kept from my July hatch that look the same (one a bit whiter and one with a bit more gray just like these 2 girls) so decided to re-home them with a rooster to hopefully get rid of the roo's easier and hatch again next yaer and maybe add a couple other breeds to my crew.

I will have to put up some pics of my July babies (they pretty much look the same) that I kept. I ended up keeping a blue frizzled girl, a splash roo (he was always the sweetest with me and I just couldn't get rid of him. praying it works out with my older roo but so far he has been fine with other roo's in there, I just rehomed 'Merica at around 21 weeks I think and my older roo had zero issues with him), and 2 splash girls. I think one is a pure Cochin and one is the mix. So should have 2 green layers from the girls I kept.

These are my July girls. Shocked I have none of Jameson the roo

Glad you could keep some!

I thoughtttttt the EEx??? pullet had started laying, but she’s not been seen near the nest boxes yet. Who has been spotted numerous times in the boxes??? Miss August Pullet She was the only WTB egg that hatched and it had a tiny crack too! I think she’ll be named Raven

Top right is her egg. Top left Meyers OE, bottom is from the Easter HAL. Her other sister from a green egg lays a very red egg

wow am still waiting on one April baby and 3 July babies and my 1 Aug baby that I kept to all start........ LOL one (or 2) may have since I found 2 mystery eggs (but think 1 may be from my EE that started up again but it was a different tint of color than her eggs are....... so a bit confused) but I did fine a matte tan egg on Sun, where my camera doesn't face so set up a camera to see that area on Mon morning...... and no other egg like that since.... trying to figure out who laid it. LOL Since I had 2 mystery eggs on Fri, and 2 on Sun....... found out one from Fri and Sun were the same pullet (my April SF that started back up again) but still have 1 mystery egg I found Fri and 1 mystery egg from Sun to figure out. haahaa!!!!!!!

all your eggs are sooooo pretty!!!!!!!!
