Thanks, Ann. And I agree, especially with all the reproductive issues I've had with my hatchery girls!

Do you know which one laid the egg that Dusty hatched? I can't believe that was 6 weeks ago!

 

[speckledhen]

Yes, that was my older girl, Kira. That was my fertility test for Isaac.

Gal, I have one of Kira's growing in the bator now and 2 other of her Delaware eggs going too.

My DH loves the way Issac looks and he is actually hoping for one of these delawares in the bator to be a roo...I am looking for a blue roo out of the bator. hehehehehe

Cyn's are the beginning of my "breeder" birds. After seeing what has happened to Cyn and others with the hatchery girls it scares me...all of mine are hatchery girls.

Such lovely ladies. Their handsome man is one lucky fella. Send me chicks?

I can't wait to see what you get!

They are gorgeous- I love how chunky they are. And Isaac just won me over completely!

Beauitful Flock

Oh, they are so beautiful, Cynthia! Their plummage is such a bright white! I'll bet you are excited to finally be able to hatch from them.

I am really excited that they are at this point. I have the one chick coming along, but I have all these eggs and no broody. I really don't want to raise more chicks this year, but I'd be tempted to put some Delaware eggs under a broody, if I had one.
