Ended Halloween Hatch-A-Long 2018

[LTreadwell]

My little chick is fiesty, and we are naming it Trix/Trixie because it sure pulled off a bag of tricks to survive! My son is always wanting to give her "sugar" (kisses). Kids and baby chicks are really adorable.

Now for the chicken math that is happening - broody incubated 4 (of my own -free-)eggs hoping for 2 to 3 -free- chicks, ended with 1 chick, and spent $15 on supplies for rigged up incubator. Felt bad for lonely chick and worried about transition to coop in December, sooo....ordered 4 more chicks and spent $60, so next week we will have 5 new chickens...and none are really the breeds I meant to have, lol.

Glad to see some of the hatches, and sorry for those of you that lost chicks. I know how devastating that is now!

Funny thing my wife just gave me permission to go to the auction to get some chickens I like cause my hatch failed

Moved little welli to brooder this morning and she is doing great! Smudge and BO have pipped and mostly zipped so hopefully will be out tonight. Planning to candle 3 remaining when we move them to brooder if no progress by then.
