Thank you. They are my first hatch off of my rooster Humpty and his girls.

New babies! These are from my Millie Cochins.. Please excuse the brooder. I had to very hurriedly move the last chicks out before being able to get it spotless. (Huge hatch and had to move chicks so that they would not be squished by other eggs). A tiny little black bantam cochin hatched these guys for me. She had a total of 21 eggs under her. We lost two right off from getting squished hence why we started moving them. 2 eggs were no good. AT this point I believe 10 total have hatched and 5 eggs remain. They seem viable and sh is still setting on them. 2 eggs had a umm accident.I still feel guilty about it. I was checking for pips and well I tripped. Those poor babies. They had not absorbed the yolk yet and would have been too week to survive.(I feel really bad about that one.. I literally picked two up and the dog got under my legs.) Will be placing them back with their mom once she is finished hatching. Thank goodness she is a fantastic surrogate as well as broody!

Congrats!!!! they are adorable

If you ever sell eggs, let me know! I want to put some Bantam Cochin eggs under my girl in the spring
