Yeah they are purebred. They aren't show birds though. the parents of these chicks came from Purdue when they were eggs. We hatched them at school for a project and I ended up taking 2 of them home then after the fair I took another home. Their dad is a real good looker though.

The stress is finally over!!!! All of Sandy's babies are out of their shell and peeping like crazy!!! I didn't think the 3rd one was going to pop out today but the lil thing did just 10 minutes ago!! Their so loud I can hear them all the way from the kitchen LOL. Tomarrow morning I will be getting the brooder papered down and set up for them while their drying. They are just to darned cute!!! Thank you Sandy, Thank you very much for leaving these babies with me. I'll miss you forever.
I hope one of these is a girl.

Congratulations!! I am so happy for you. I sure hope one of them is a little girl for you too. Hoping all 3 are so you won't have to find a new home for the little boys.

So how many eggs did you have originally? And how many hatched all together?

I started with 7 but most of them had been in the fridge for over 14 days.I't turned out 4 where fertile, but I lost one to the power outage we had for 6 hours. I can't wait for tomarrow to come so I can get them into the brooder.

Congrats on your hatch! That's a great job, especially for refrigerated eggs.

I hope they're all little girls.

And are just like their mama. She sounds like she was a treasure.
