I've been feeding my addiction by regular visits to TSC just to drool

over the baby chicks. They had baby ducks in there today and several different breeds of chicks. Only one rabbit,

Ducks looked really lonely. I resisted the urge to pick one up just to hold it, figuring if I did that it might follow me home.

Y'all know the danger of petting something and then having it follow you home.

Well, I just needed some pig feed, so I had to stop in, really, that's my excuse, chicks had nothing to do with it.

Honest!

I have a ton of hatching eggs coming this week and I don't have enough incubator space...unless I can get my wooden incubator to get to the correct temp...did I mention I might be getting MORE hatching eggs tomorrow??

Oh...and a friend might be picking me some chicks up at TSC....I can stop any time I want to...really I can...I just don't want to!

Well, the chick poked its head out from under the mama hen today for a few seconds, so I snapped a picture!

I really hope some more hatch tomorrow! I keep staring at the mama hen, hoping to see a glimpse of a baby ( or two) poking out underneath, but nothing else since I got these pictures.

Sorry about the fuzzy camera phone picture, my photographic skills are rusty with a good camera!

It's no secret....I'm officially addicted. Every time I go out to spend more time with my chooks, I feel like I need more. Is there some kind of patch that'll stop this incessant need to accumulate chickens?!

ahhh they are so pretty!!!! dang it! I need to hatch more of them-I keep selling them all off-Im putting some eggs in when i return home on the 20th I need some of those fluffy faces!!!!

Hey nat, how long before you could tell if they are pullets? I rehomed the OBVIOUS roos (the straight combed ones are easy to tell), but there were no pink pea combs so I just picked the ones that had the smallest or non existent 'peas' and am keeping my fingers crossed. No pink yet at 6 weeks, but I know pea combed OE's are hard to tell so early. I have a BLRW roo (I think) to rehome so I'm hoping in a month or so I can tell on these also?
