First Broody

[Happy Chooks]

Kristi said in another post that she has 2 babies out now.

Congrats! And from the picture, it looks like you're going to have a nice momma hen.

I put my eggs in the bator now. Didn't even have room for everyone. Now the wait.

4 babies out and at least 2 more pips. It was too cold for pictures. I'll get some and post them after it warms up a little. It's 12 this morning here. Of course we'll wanna see your babies fordmommy. Keep us posted.

It's up to about 30 now. It was 12 early this morning. I will probably go out and try to sneak a picture or two in a little bit. What kind of eggs did you put in the bator?

I'm hatching:

White Orps
Langshans
Wheaten Ameraucana
Blue Laced Red Wyandotte
Blue Copper Marans
A class sumatra
Mottled De unccle (SP)
Buff Silkie
Barred Cochin
EE
Button Quail
Bobwhite Quail

I think that's every one.

Oh! I forgot to tell you guys....you know I have that broody that I gave 2 eggs to last week, right? I candled them and 1 is looking good and the other never started so I tossed it. So she has only one eggie under her. She's doing good. She doesn't move, so I bring the water right to her a couple times and day and she'll drink just fine. And I give her grapes and scrambled eggs and cantalope and bread. She won't eat the feed I gave her so I have to spoil her.

Dh went to check and one of the newer babies had died.

So sad. I am uploading some pictures now of the others. I'll have them on in a sec.
