Free chick from McMurray

I took a few pictures of my chicks this evening. Okay, more than a few, but I'll try and only get one of each breed posted.

Black Jersey Giants

My son Luke with the Buff Orpington. (he loves the chicks.)

Olive Egger

Easter Eggers

Salmon Faverolles

Welsummers

Mottled Houdans.


They are about 3 weeks old, and they are going through their first molt. They are still kind of cute though.

I'm a proud chicken Momma right now. I have a hacthling in the Incubator with another one trying to peck its way out.

It's so precious! Here's a cute video of it, and you'll see the next egg rocking back and forth.

What kind of incubator do you use? I want to buy one but with so many options I am not sure which brands are worth the money.

Little Giant Still Air Incubator

The second one hatched and died within the hour, sadly... But I still have one with movement inside and another pipped a little hole. The first one loves to hop in my hand and nest like she would with her Momma.

Awww what breed? Also I saw your pic of the spitzhauben awesome pic! how do you like that breed?

They have that one for sale at my local tractor supply, but if I do get it I will add the egg turner and circulating fan. Does the temp hold pretty steady and accurate on yours?
