First Hatching….

[oO_Angela_Oo]

I already have what seems to be an ever expanding flock; however, the largest portion are Silkies which I’m hoping to breed. With that being said, I figured I was already that far in, so let’s get set up for incubating. I had 6 hatching eggs and was blessed with 3 little miracles yesterday (… there was absolutely NO movement of ANY kind on Saturday when I candled at day 23 or difference in air cell from day 18… I was just giving them a few more days because I didn’t want to have a complete loss, even though I know it happens).

I’m an elementary teacher and thankfully yesterday was a workday because I was absolutely useless. I know I did something that probably will be frowned upon, but I wrapped up the incubator, plugged it in to the adapter that is in my car, and took 1 chick and 2 beginning pippers with me. Didn’t bother me one bit and one did hatch at school, which my students will get to name (yellow Cochin chick on the right).

Look how beautiful my Mille is becoming and how handsome my calico Cochin is… They go on their first adventure tomorrow, along with gorgeous silver partridge Silkie, to school where the Cochin and the Silkie will get their official names. Like I mentioned earlier, the Cochin was hatched at school, so only fair to let my students name him.

They're precious!

They're precious!

Thank you! The Silkie is now officially named "Riley" and the Cochin is “Ginji”.
