[3Dchicken]

I finished!

im caught up....holy postings bat man.

So... since I just jumped into this thread without invite since it seemed like the place to be, Did I ever really introduce myself? I actually have 5 free minutes. Shhhh, don't tell the kids!

My name is Renne, married for 18 years to the hubs TJ. I'm 35 he's 39 We have 5 daughters together. 17. 14. 11. 9. Almost 4. And are the most awesome legal custodial Guardians to two boys. 19 months, and 9 weeks. Hoping soon to turn to adoption but the mother is unwilling so its in God's hands. That makes for us 7 kids

. 5 dogs 8 chickens 16 chicks in rural cow country Missouri. TJ is active army at the end of his career and I am a part time preschool teacher for our church preschool. I don't know if I ever mentioned I never thought I really liked kids...guess I was wrong!
If I could figure out a signature this is what it would say.

Helloooooooooooooooo!

Oh my gosh...I'm no longer a "new egg". I'm now "just hatched"! Sometimes its the trivial things that matter most.

QUESTION: the chicks that seem to feather really fast? =
Pullets? I have two very distinct feathering going on. Lots of wing feathers on some and hardly any on others... I'll see if I can nab a pic.

. I hope this is the case because my ONE Henrietta baby is feathering really nice in the wings and I really want to keep her...it. um...its not a bit odd that my chickens have names right?

All my chickies have names!

This is an Orpington mixed with a polish rooster...

The two different feathering rates. I "think" they are Barred Rocks, but I really don't know.

Mr. No Wings..
Mr/s Wing.

And why not? They posed so beautifully.

Oh, I think that there is a way to sex Barred rock chicks due to the white got on their heads. The females will have a small, concentrated yellow/white dot, while the males' dots might be more uneven or less circular. Also the females tend to have darker legs. I think Mr. No Wings is a boy, also because he, well, has no wings. XD I also think the Orpington mix is a girl, but of course, these are just assumptions.

I think I will get a group picture of all my chickies together (if they will get along long enough for me to get one, that is...)

Here it is with 22 pennies. Does it look good? or should I take some out. How many do you usually keep in your incubator?

It sure looks pretty! I say good to go!
