Button babies NEW (pics) (Fluffies)

[farmin'chick]

6?? Did you lose one?

LOL no...but you know Buttons! They run around too fast to get them all in one picture! When I was unloading the hatcher, 4 of them escaped before I could get them in the brooder.....Here I am, crawling around on the floor, under furniture, etc., finding baby chicks....The thing is, they are SO tiny, I almost can't tell when I pick one up!!!

That challenge mastered, I got them in the brooder and all toasty and set up with teeny tiny crumbles. Then my mom comes rushing out...."It's 102 in the brooder!!! You have to check!!!" Well, one of the thermometers I had lying in the bottom. And, 6 of the chicks were lying ON it! (body temperature 102!) So, the brooder temp was fine.....LOL

Still 7, and 5 maybes waiting in the hatcher. I feel awesomely blessed to have 7! More would be like frosting on the FROSTING on the cake!​

Do you need more? I have 16-18 more eggs that need a home, other than mine

Well, I'd LOVE to have more but my PayPal only has $8 in it....and I can't add more until next week! And uh...two of my incubators are full until around the 14th of August....They HAVE provoked a lot of interest -- I don't think a lot of folks around here are raising buttons. I do have another incubator, though..........twist my arm and I'll send you a check or a money order.

You see, that's why I couldn't have quails hatching in my house. I have 3 dogs who shed a lot, producing dust bunnies so large that I'd never find the babies!​
