Everyone is out and fluffy! Out of the 20 fertile, 19 hatched! I’m super happy with that! Just a few pics!

My hatch is complete! 100% hatch rate, 100% fertility rate. Super vigorous chicks, too. This one hatched about 1.5 hours before taking the pic. Lol. Looks like it’s mama, besides the bib. 🥰 any pullets I get out of this group will be part of my breeding program and going in with one of my 2 pure hedemora cockerels, when grown.

Here’s a little photo shoot with some of the chicks. They’re such a calm bunch so far, no whiners!😂

11 out of 12 have hatched, no pip or anything on the remaining cream legbar egg but I'll candle and wait a bit as the Marans only hatched not long ago (dry though)

Cream Legbars. I ended up with 3 cockerels, 3 pullets
