Hi everyone! I'm quite new to the chicken world, but I'm so very glad to have joined it! These little babies have brought me so much joy over the last few days, and I'd just like to share them with everyone.



This is Aster! She's a Red Star chick. She's so curious and the first one into my palm if I'm holding out food for them to eat. :)



This is Triet! She's a Buff Orpington chick. Her fluffy butt makes me smile.

Like Aster, she loves to eat!



This is Altamira! She's an Australorp chick. She's my brave baby, always trying to fly her way out of the brooder. I always have to keep an extra eye out for her!



This is Flanoir, my Barred Rock chick. As you can see, she's asleep in my palm! She's so docile and sweet, I love her so much. :)



This is Celsius! She's my Light Brahma chick. Her feathery feet are so cute! She's such a sweetheart that likes to eat as much as Aster and Triet.

She loves to nestle against my palm when I leave my hand in the brooder while I'm reading next to them. Sooo cute!



This is Luin, my Welsummer chick. She's the tiniest of them all! She really loves to be held and petted, probably more than any other of my chicks. Such a cutie!

Hahaha, I've become a doting new mother! Chicks are such a joy to have...their little habits are so endearing. Time flies so fast when I'm spending time with them, it's just amazing.

Mine are due 8/2. I will probably not make it to work that day. XD One of my silkies is currently setting 8 eggs. Hopefully they'll all come out fine.

I know you must love yours - my chickens have also brought me an endless source of enjoyment.
 
I'm so sorry you lost that many. :( What happened?

They're so sweet, though. I'm glad you managed to save these.
 
Hi Kimquat. I think much of the problem was in shipping, from Indiana to California. Of course, I'll never really know. Incubator was spot on. One egg was cracked, but 5 were clear upon candling at 14 days. Two partially formed, and two were to term but didn't hatch. The seller was on eBay with excellent ratings and happy customers, but I find it curious that they have no items for sale now.
