We have little "chicks popping like popcorn" and running around the hatcher! This is only day 19!! Should have about 25 - 28 making it out of the shell.
I pick them up Sunday when I get the other LF chicks that are hatching this weekend...on schedule.
This is better than Easter!! Everybody is getting babies.
My last one a little quail finally decided to come into the world at 5:30 this morning. He just wanted to make his own grand appearance I guess, but all are doing great, Thanks BBB for these adorable little cuties!!!!
I am here with Speckledhen, I spent the afternoon spoiling Suede and carrying My Little Love around giving him much lurve. He bit me and then when I ignored him, he came over to be picked up. He was mad at me for leaving him last time. He still lurves me.

Aubrey, I am still trying to figure this out. I went through the eggshells after the hatch Here is what hatched, 1 blue red, 5 silver quail, 4 lavander,2 crele,3 black.
Here is what I have
Ones I think are blacks
Ones I think are lavander
Ones I think are silver quail
Crele, turned out to be a bb red, the other one was a little tiny black chick with a dot on his head had leg problems and didn't make it.
Blue red, was shrinked wrapped really bad, egg was completely zipped and it was stuck. Didn't find him till I was cleaning out the hatcher. I moistened it up got it out ans put it back in the hatcher not expecting it to live. Well the next morning he was running all over the place. Toes were a little crooked so I made a pair of boots for it and will see how it goes.
So by process of elimination I am missing 3 silver quails, a lavander and a black.
Here is what I have left
Columbians out of the silver quails ??????
These three which should be a silver quail,a lavander and a black. Any Ideas???
as of right now i think the porcelain is a male and the mille fleur and the black project chick are both females
maybe not but Aubrey what do you think
Hey Aubrey If my Porcelain is indeed a male and the Mille Fleur and The Black Project Chick are both females what crosses would I get out of the three
Noob to D'Anvers so sorry for the dumb question
Thanks Cole
Here are the16 babies that have hatched from the 36 mailed eggs. There were 7 still in the hatcher that have not pipped as of yet...not sure they will pip. Picked these up last night from Carl.
There are two Spangled OEGB in the bunch (Look like brown chipmunks)
I can pick out the black, Buff Columbian and the Porcelain, but am having trouble with the BBred, Ginger, Mille Fleur
They were running around the tube today chasing one with a fly it had caught! At one day old!!!
another picture of the same bunch
Also had to put this picture in...Red is a Catahoula and loves baby chicks...too bad you can't see the tail waggging and the eyes darting to each baby.
