Oh, I hope you get a Splash Orpington and share the picture..wait! I hope you get, a black, and a blue, and a splash Orpington.. I am behind, by the time I get to the end, you will probably have chicks! )

LOL. I have chicks hatching all the time. Tomorrow is day 21 for the Orps & SFH. I have a set of my own Blue BR eggs due to hatch Monday. On Wednesday I have Lav Ameraucanas hatching and on Thursday I have GS Barred Rocks hatching. I'll be right there with you.

My flock is 100% fertile!!! Yeah I filled the turner in my LG throw out 4 eggs that died, 1 is questionable but the rest and movin and grooven!!! I'm so excited this is my first time hatching my own flocks eggs.

18 beautiful babies so far! A mixture of Bantam Ameraucanas (finally found some eggs for some true show quality) Lemon Cuckoo Orpingtons, Bantam Chocolate Orpingtons, and Cuckoo Marans. With one single OEGB that was just labelled BAR. I am still waiting for a very mysterious OEGB that was labelled YNOT. No clue what either of those actually are!

Lots of peepers!!! Yeah!!!

So, they started peeping wednesday morning and had 4 chicks that night. Had 7 thursday morning, came home at noon and had 12. came home after work and had 14. Once I got home had to help 2 out of their eggs and two more came out on their own. Have 18 now and think at least two more will make it, so maybe 20 out of 26 will survive. This is so cool especially peeling two out by hand. They will be my special babies. Will keep ya'll posted on the progress.

Look how cute they all are!!! I'll bet your daughter is so excited!

Ok so I took my sister to Atwoods today for a job interview. And it was like my chick radar was on beep beep beep. Low and behold there were baby ducks! Eeekk they were the cures thing ever! So you know me I wasent leaving wit out some ducks! And we still had errands to run. Oh well. Sis got done with onterview and I got me two ducks. They ten tell me they will have chicks after 4 from the po box. Aaahhhh well guess what? I went back and bout 10 chicks and another duck! I know I know bad me but they r so darn cute and I had to give them a very good home. So brought them home to 7 kids yes 7 and they are not all mine. But any ways all you hear is awww how cute. Can I hold one. Which one is mine? Reall I have to share? Lol

I bought 31 EE eegs off craigslist for my first time trying to hatch eggs. They started hatching yesterday morning and I have 22 little guys in my brooder now! I was so worried that I would do something wrong, if the digital thermometer/hydrometer was acurate, did I handle the eggs right, so many things! Then I was very suprised that it worked LOL.


I just bought 36 BCM eggs and can't wait for them to get here. Hope I have the same luck with the mailed eggs as I did with the ones form CL. I'm very excited.

That is great!! That was a good hatch rate. We need pics of 22 little fluffy butts... just saying

Keep up on posts for the BCM's too!

I have 3 BBS Orp Eggs and 4 Swedish Flower hens in lockdown since Tuesday night. I was just cleaning out my other hatcher (eggs are in another hatcher right next to it) and I heard chirping!!! No pips yet but at least I know someone has internally pipped.
