Final Total..Almost, LOL and PICS!

[speckledhen]

The hatch is over except for one lone RIR egg that is moving, but not pipped still. Have to figure what to do about that one...if the RIR hatches, I'll have 32 live chicks from the 49 eggs that went into the bators this go-round. I still have two in the Cooler-Bator drying off a bit more, but here are the totals:
13 Welsummers
6 RIRs, or 7 if the other egg hatches
1 Buff Orpington
6 Blue Orpingtons (2 splashes and the others are blues & blacks, not sure which yet)
2 Ameraucanas (one blue, one splash-yippee!)
3 Barred Rocks (my last babies from Hawkeye)

And here are the pictures, starting with a pile of Orps hatched for KingsCalls-look at that HUGE splash! The last two pics are the blue and splash Ameraucanas.

Jody's 9 Buff Orps and my Blue from Velvet are due May 1.

Wow, is that a barred rock boy there by the mirror?

Such beautiful babies, all of them!

Oh my, the ones that look like chipmonks are tooo sweet! I seriously need to stop looking at all these pictures or I'm going to end up being the crazy lady with all the chickens.

Congratulations on a beautiful collection of babies.

Congrats on the babies!

Today is day 22 for your eggs to me. This morning I finally have a pip in one of Skye's eggs. 4 of hers and 1 of Lexies went into the hatcher. I couldn't stand to toss the last one of Velvet's so it went in too even tho when I candled a couple days before they went into the hatcher I'm pretty sure it wasn't good. The others all had good movement when I candled them that last time, but now I'm getting worried. I should have candled them again when I moved them, but I was in a rush and didn't take the time.
