Very cute babies! Love your avatar!I was able to place Iris, my last remaining 12/4 chick with the remaining Christmas Eve babies without incident. She is 3 weeks older then them. I was worried she would step on them, but they all get along nicely so far.

Quite terribly! But at least I have some babies! Out of 9 fertile chicken eggs, 2 hatched on New Years, but were due on Dec 29th. The rest DIS. The 10 quail eggs that were due New Years also hatched late. Out of those, I have 4 healthy babies. 3 eggs did not hatch, 2 pipped and died, and 1 hatched and died. They hatched late due to the temp in my incubator dropping to 93F during lockdown. It took a while to get it back up.
Congrats on the ones that made it! Sorry for the losses. The two that hatched were brown leghorn crosses, right? Cuties!

It's good she's a gentle giant. They're all adorable.
