OMG ... When I got home from work, I looked in the incubator, as I was going to clean it up .... and there were 2 more chicks (1 Turken and 1 Orp)! The humidity was down to 50%, and they hatched! I opened the remaining 3 eggs and found 2 early quitters and 1 full developed (yolk absorbed and membrane pipped) splash Orp dead.

I ended the hatch with 6 Orps ... 1 Splash, 2 blue, 3 black! I took pictures, and will upload them tonight. My internet service has been off and on for the past 24 hours, and I can't upload at work.

YAY! I have BBS Orps!

All I have is 1 Buff Orp and I love her. Wish I had a blue....hint, hint! Just kidding - I've not got the set up for baby chicks.

Sure I will. He is gonna have some other big women too....a splash cochin, a red cochin, 2 BOs and maybe an Aussie or 2. Once I figure out what Athena is going to lay, I can separate hers

How many more weeks before she is supposed to start laying?

Refresh my memory...aren't Cochin's the ones with the cute muffed feet and little beards? I just lurvs them fluffy feet!

No beards on the cochins. They are a heavy breed tons of fluff, feathered legs and feet. My Luna is that adorable little cockeral's mom...Draco. She is a splash so she and Thor will give me all splash babies. Some with feathered feet and legs most likely but they should be beautiful.

This is Luna

As a baby she had the most unbelievable foot feathering....I just love her and my Red Cochin, Ruby

.... Now, tell me if I am right. I think I have 1 (big fat) Splash, 2 Blue, 3 Black.

 

[Cetawin]

hmmmm I see a fat splash that looks a lot like a black splash, 1 blue and 4 black.....but the one black could be a very dark blue. Those are awesome babies lady...

Those turkens....oh my faces only a mother could love. hahahahaha I do not like showgirls either so...
