Kathy and Germaine, I should order some more eggs from James and join you. I have some in my bator already due on the 28th but I haven't really found a thread I wanted to join in with to hatch. I had a lot of fun on the Christmas and New Years hatches. Good luck with your hatches, mine are all developing nicely except for 1 or 2.

My husband would have a fit if I order any more eggs right now. I have 4 Buckeye babies from my first hatch with Laura's eggs and hopefully will get several more with James's eggs. I also have 1 cockerel and 1 pullett already. I think I have a good start right now with Buckeyes, but I would love to get some more. I also don't have room in my brooder, there are 19 babies in there now. Maybe soon....

Brooders for chicks are easy. Go to your local furniture store and get some BIG cardboard boxes. Hang a light over them, and voila. What's hard is pens for the teenagers. That's where I always run into trouble!

Pens for teenagers, I am going to have to come up with some of those soon. I could do the cardboard box thing if my husband would let me put them in the garage. I have had chickens in there off and on for the last 8 months. He put his foot down and said he wanted his garage back.

The pictures I have seen on this thread are beautiful of the adults and chicks. Does anybody have any pictures of them in different stages of growth that they could post.
