My sweet Delaware girl, Kira, will be getting some coop mates before too long. My breeder friend shipped 20 beautiful Delaware eggs from her spectacular stock. They are on Day 10 today.
I have 16 I know are viable and growing, possibly 17, but one will have to be re-candled in a day or two. That is spectacular fertility and the P.O. wasn't too rough on them during shipping apparently. One aircell is a bit far to the side, but not that bad. So, yippee for me! I'm thrilled. Kira is a chunky, beautiful girl with a sweet personality and a fabulous layer so far.
What I want is to have six girls with a really nice rooster in that coop. Maybe, if I'm lucky and not cockerel-heavy in this hatch, I'll get that. There are two possible sires in this batch, both wonderful, one of whom was in the Pic of the Week recently.
Good luck to all of you who are hatching this month!
