I certainly do! They're precious, but quite a surprise.

I've had the hens who laid the eggs for almost 5 years, and the same roosters with them for the last several hatches......every other chick that I've hatched from them have been normal colored cuckoos.

Aww, they are so cute! Congrats Katy. Anything else happening on those araucana eggs in there?

Jody...I've got the one that hatched yesterday and I can see a pip in another of your eggs. I had to move him out to the brooder this afternoon because he wouldn't leave the one with the rough navel alone!! I've still got 4 Marans eggs (2 pipped) to go too in this hatch plus the other 2 Araucanas. They were bowling them around pretty good, so I hope maybe there's some pips that I can't see.

Super cute chicks. That one looks like the Splash Orp. I just hatched out.

They are precious. Very cute babies!

I think my hatch for this batch may be done. 2 more hatched overnight.....a Marans and an Araucana. There are two more Marans that have small pips, plus a Marans and 2 Araucanas that I can't see anything happening with. I'll leave them in for awhile since I have 8 eggs on the other side of the incubator due in the next couple of days. Hopefully the two that are pipped will make it out yet, but I'm not holding my breath. I did snatch all but the one that had just hatched out this morning and moved them to the brooder. I"ll get some pictures after bit.
