well here are some pics from my "hot chicks" photo shoot. haha.
These are my new babies, literally, they live in my garage. 2 hatched by my daughter on her lap ( she is 8 ) and 2 hatched by me.
This is the oldest baby, hatched by Floppy, the only one she liked.
He/she is black and yellow.
this is baby #2, and the reason we took FLoppy out and took the babies into the garage, for some reason she hated this baby. My moms hubby, he's a tough guy as per farming ways, and even he was shocked by Floppy's behavior to this chick. This is a big baby, and a fiesty one !!!!!!
This is baby #3, this is the first baby my daughter hatched. she was so proud.
here are the first 3 bonding.
the following is a picture of baby #4 and baby #5, baby #4 hatched while I was at work, in the brooder box under a heat lamp. amazing. it looks just like baby #2, not as chunky.
baby #5, I helped hatch in the brooder box, its name is Arrow. daughter named it that, as it's marking on its head resembles an arrow somewhat. This baby took a bit to walk, but is now a pro.
Arrow, #5
here is all five, taken yesterday, they aren't as calm as this picture today, running and playing full time now.
no good pics of baby #6 yet, but, is very small, but doing very well. still in the sleepy stage. THis baby hatched on my daughters knee yesterday morning. Lily had gotten off the remainder of unhatched eggs leaving two alone. One had died overnight in the shell, so I grabbed this one , as it survived the night. SO, wanted to make sure it survived completely.
baby #7, hatched on my lap this morning. it is out of a blue egg. it is also doing well so far, very strong.
they are my miracle babes, and they taught my daughter alot about life and death.
we did lose one baby, which would have been #5 had it lived. (chronologically)
2 were hatched in a brooder box, 3 on laps and 2 under Floppy.
