Chicky Tocks & Lucky Garden and anyoneelse interested in the scarf..., My sister knit the scarf far me. I reporposed it but she does not mind. She is going to send instructions for anyone who isinterested I will post them here. The chicks seem to love it.

Words of wisdom dancing bear - easier to shut the bator in the bedroomthan the cat

and correction it's not PasoFino farms where I got the eggs, it's BYC username PasoFinofarm - website: www.nonsuchfarm.net

I did not wantto tell her they all hit the floor on hatch day but I guess she'll know now

Sorry Melissa - but all's well thatends well

dancing bear - what I mean is yours are words of wisdom. When I re-read the post it sounded like I was trying to give you words of wisdom.

Here are scarf instructions for anyone who wants: It's all greek to me:

Materials:
1 - skein of any type of eyelash yarn.
1 - 16" # 15 circular needle
Cast on 30 stitches and join in the round. Knit every row until desired length is reached and bind off.

That great!!

I count ten chicks there... did you get ten out of twelve in the end?

 

[dancingbear]

Bluedawg, I knew what you meant!

I'm so glad you got a good hatch anyway! Sometimes I think the ones that have the roughest incubation/hatching turn out the best. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff that's happened when my hens are hatching eggs, and have them hatch anyway. Then I try my best and be careful, and manage to kill off more than half....

Congrats on your babies!

What kind are they? You probably said already, but I guess I missed it.

thats great news

is the cat still in the dog house

 

[bluedawg]

No, He was never in the dog house. He's a great guy and just being a cat. It was my fault - I should have had the incubator in a "safe" room.

 

[kyeschicks]

WOW! looks like you had a great hatch!!! I will do that! grab my bator and throw it lol

just joking I would never do that!

 

[bluedawg]

too funny. I had additional Wheaten Marans eggs in another Bator to go into the hatcher exactly a week after the crash happened. I only got 3 out of 7 from those eggs so go figure. The initial group were Wheaten Araucanas, of which I got 2, and Salmon Favorells, of which I got 5. So include the Three Wheaten Marans and that accounts for the 10 chickies in the photo.
