Day 17/18/19 here... CHICK PICS!!

[Cara]

Ok I am going to attempt to take some pictures of the chicks. Would anyone be willing to post them for me if I e-mail them the photos? I can't seem to get it to work every time I try.

Cara, do you have your pics on a site like www.photobucket.com? You need to do that first, if not. Then there will be a URL under your photo and when you click on it on that site, it copies it. Then you paste it in your input screen, right click your mouse and run it over the URL to highlight it, then click the Img button at the top of the input screen. It's really very easy, if you have your pic online already. There are others like snapfish, too.

OK, I think I got it! LOL

Here's the whole batch from this set of eggs:

From the left: Catalpa Blue Orp, Cynthia's Something Orp, Cynthia's Blue Orp, Catalpa Blue Orp, in the foreground my Bantam Sultan, and Cynthia's Blue Ameraucana.

Clockwise from top: Cynthia's Blue Ameraucana, the mystery Orp, Catalpa Blue Orp (he has some silvery feathers), Cynthia's Blue Orp, my Sultan, Catalpa Blue Orp.

The two Orps from Cynthia's eggs. The one on the left looks black in comparison, but it's a dark blue.

There might not be very many of them, but the ones I did get are very nice chicks, and seem very healthy. I"m really pleased with the weird coloured one. He looked like an old woman's purple rinsed hair when he hatched.

That one to the left in the last picture almost looks like a black. I wonder if Cyns Mystery Orp is a splash or maybe a blue.

Very sweet and cute...is the one on the left in the first picture as much bigger than the others as he looks? I can't wait till I have some blue orps of my own!!

P.S. Cara...it took Cyn explaining the picture thing to me too!! I tried and tried to figure it out and had no luck until she gave me directions!!

 

[speckledhen]

Aw, they're beautiful! You either have a splash or an extremely light blue. Hey, did I send you my splash, LOL??

 

[Cara]

That dark one from Catalpa is a beast LOL He hatched about 12 hrs before anyone else so he's probably had a headstart growing, but he was huge when he hatched.

Cynthia, if the Splash is a rooster you can have him back

 

[speckledhen]

LOL, noooooooo! I've had two Splash roosters already. I want my splash pullet. Maybe that's what's chipping its way out of the egg in my hatcher as I write this.
