i just couldn't wait any longer i guess. i had to go out and get some baby chicks! had to had to had to. and of course my girls had to pick one out each as well so i came home with 6 more little chicks to add to the family. now all i have to do is wait a few more days for the ones in the incubator to hatch and will be adding

11 more little fuzzy butts. of course i couldn't get as lucky as to have all of them hatch out hens so will need to rehome the roos, but the good news is the woman that i bought the chicks from today said she would buy my roos from me.

heres a pic of the newest additions the oldest is around 4 weeks and the youngest about 1 week. all seem to be getting along nicely have a light that i'll turn on at night for them but during the day its in the 90's so i think they will be more than fine.

what a coincidence...I was all set to put eggs in the incubator when I read and looked at some more pics. of the salmon faverolles and decided i did not want some of the characteristics of the rooster I had in there, so I have another rooster that has Great traits and I have since replaced him, so I have to wait for awhile to get eggs from the hens now...however, I started saving eggs from my Patridge Cochins and Ameracanas and am ready to set them tomorrow and I go into the hen house and my same 2 bantams hens that hatched out about 17 baby D'Uccles 2 months ago, have gone back to the nest again and are both sitting on(after I divided them up) 8 eggs apiece....LOL...I LOVE IT..
