Good night Cyn! I hope you have a new Delaware chick in the morning.

Hoping you awake to fourteen healthy dels in the morning

You did great!

It hatched! #14 hatched and it's healthy and in the brooder. So, 15 of 16 Dels did hatch, though I had to put down that one poor little fella. No idea why this one was so late to the party, but it's here. So, hatch concluded! Whew.

Started with 42, but removed 17 infertiles, so the actual number is 25. All the BRs, both pure Blue Orps and Meg's baby hatched plus the 15 Dels minus the poor little guy we euthanized, so 23 of 25 is what I have in the brooder right now. And, of course, the Delawares were shipped.

Yay, little 14!

 

[speckledhen]

Thank you for your good strong stock and excellent packing methods, Janet! A definite collaboration here.

 

[seriousbill]

We make a good, team, Cyn!

Now, I cannot wait to see how these little darlins turn out. I'm counting on you for pics!

Great job Cynthia.

 

[speckledhen]

Thanks, Marlon. Janet you can count on pictures because you are my consultant in choosing my keepers!

 

[seriousbill]

LOL! You got it.
