She ended up with one Barred Easter Egger, one Blue Orp x RIR/Buff Orp, one splash Orpington and two black or blue Orps, not sure till I can see them better. Now, I have two broodies, both Orps, on five babies each.

I may let each of them keep one baby, but the others will need new homes in a week or so, hint, hint, LOL.

Okay those are way cute pics. And Dusty didn't kill the camera, lucky you.

She wanted to, though, LOL. Do you see the tiny splash Orp on the left and the Barred EE on the right in the first pic? I'll get better ones when they get out from under her a bit.

OMG I missed the wee barred EE. Hi there tiny face! I love barred babies. I have a splash sizzle here so I did recognize that color right away now! LOL.

Halo's eggs came, about half are splash, this is going to be soooo much fun. The others are blues and blacks.

Hey we talked about the Delaware Hooligans - mine went out to the big brooder today but before that they met the newest tinies. I thought they might be rough with them given all that energy. Nope they were as sweet as the sizzles to them. Okay except for using them as pogo sticks when they got to flying off.

They may be super high energy, sweet-toothed pirates and hooligans but they are awful sweet birds. I had to beat them off the babies' electrolytes with a stick, gave up and made them some up. Nah I'm not soft.

Kiss Dusty for me once it's safe again. She's an awesome mommy.

I hope she keeps up the good work! Crazy how they ended up with 5 each!
