Awesome!!!! Way to go, Lil Bit! I'm so happy you took her and Pepper. I thought they'd make awesome pets for someone, she was so super-sweet, that girl.

I think I see 5, but one has 2 heads!

They look great, all fluffy and sweet.
Are ya ready for the next ones?

LOL you're not home and you STILL do a great job. Our first 8 Delawares are hatched out and too cool! Algernon is Isaac's cousin so I'm hopeful for some good chicks. We'll compare notes when we meet up

The older of these chicks are almost two weeks and really coming in pretty heavily colored and definitely distinctly barred at hackle.

Some of that was a labor of love - kind of literally - I dropped six eggs (with a LOT of dog help), killed two obviously, waxed four and hatched THREE of them. I am the master helper

- they were all stuck to the shell where they were injured in the fall. Two of those were Dels, one a Del/Partridge Rock - they're sooo pretty.

Might as well crow about everything in the last week or so since I'm hogging your thread Scott. Managed to hatch my first two Sizzles and they LOOK awesome. And managed to hatch my first FIVE seramas and OMG they're the size of hummingbirds, very addictive.

And I've got to confess, there are three smooth sizzled Delaware/Sizzle girls. They're from the black birchen sizzle roo (now I have living proof he's a demelanized black birchen not blue) and are solid black with black faces, legs and feet. Bred back to an actual Curled Splash Sizzle and I should get blue Frizzled Dels. Bred to their father, they'd produce black birchen smooth sizzled/dels. Which I might not be able to help myself about... I sense the trend of insanity.

Scott by Spring we should be able to compare and swap some birds

Can I interest you in anything WEIRD while I'm at it???

Chuckle.

Well, its Thurs AM and I am about to leave Orlando to drive to Tampa (last stop this week!!!)

Landon sent me a msg this morning that 6 or the 11 eggs of "Big Issac's" were pipped before he left for school. I don't get home until noon tomorrow...guess I'll wind up missing this hatch too....uugghhh

Oh well, someone has to pay the bills.

Have a great day
