My son has informed me that his goal is to have at least one of every breed. The chicken bug has got a hold of him tight.

I've noticed that the two Blue Andalusian chicks we got are by far the calmest of the lot. They're really sweet little chicks.

My little roo likes to hang out but not be picked up.

What do you have so far???

 

[chicksurreal]

As far as baby chicks go, we've got 3 Silver Laced Wyandottes, 3 Black Australorps, 13 Dark Cornish, 2 Blue Andalusians, 4 Single Comb Delawares and 2 Single Comb Brown Leghorns. So, 27 all together. I love them all!

Wow that's a lot already... Is the dark Cornish chicks meat birds ...

Put the eggs into lockdown, even though I'm sure it's half a day early. But my last two incubations they tried to hatch 2-3 days early...

We have a separate flock of Hamburgs too, down to 10 of them because of a bobcat who won't go away. We don't even let them free range right now because of it. :-(

The dark Cornish aren't meat birds, we haven't worked up the courage to buy birds for meat yet. Lol!

We just love chickens and want to have a variety.

the same thing happened to me.. I was lucky not to have any hatch while the egg turner was still on... I took them out and set them in the lockdown incubator and. While I was preparing the brooder box... I I heard chirping to my surprise they were all starting to hatch....
