I actually had a rather sad hatch.

I had a bad temp spike. Only 4 of the orps hatched. I was so sad. And of my mixed from ChickenWhisperer only 1 hatched but died shortly after. Sigh... :- < I am glad I got the ones I did. I also had a sizzle and one EE hatch. I have 2 more hatches coming up. Christmas day and New Year's Eve! Then I will be done for the year! LOLOLOL (I guess I have no choice but to be done)

Anyways the little yellow ones are the Buff orps. I just know if it had not been for the temp spike I would have had 8 orps!!!

That's a shame, Harley's Girl. Well, you did better than I did on the swap...I ended up with one, and now I see it has a crossed beak. FWIW I've been getting mostly pullets from those Orp eggs, so hopefully you will too. Out of 22 hatched, I have 15 pullets. Not too shabby! Your babies look real healthy. I hope they do great for you.

Wonderful!!! I sure hope that they are all pullets!

They are so sweet, I love chicks. Now if I could just come up with a way to get them to not stink! LOL
