HALLOWEEN HATCH!!! Anyone

[kathyinmo]

Mornin' everyone!

I woke up to 3 Lavender Orps, and the original one that began zipping is still not out. I think she will be named Pokey! I noticed one is lighter colored than the other two. I believe I read that in this Lavender Orpington Project, there is an occasional splash, which will still carry the Lavender gene. I will need to go reread about that.
Anyway, I still have another dozen eggs in there, which appear to be doing nothing. Today is Day 21 on these.

Congrats on all the new babies. I love all your pictures .... send more!
Best wishes!

ETA: On closer inspection, I think I have 4 more pips! YAY!

They had a marathon on last night (today's marathon is Addam's Family on WGN this afternoon)

Grandpa's other alias's (according to one episode) were "the Count" or "Sam Dracula" - I thought Sam Dracula was sort of funny.

You should see my week olds and two week olds and the month olds I had to put into a pen because they were getting too flighty and trampling each other.

I put new batteries in my flashlight when I began incubating, 3 weeks ago. Today I had to replace them. I think I am spending way too much time hanging over the bators! LOL

We named the Turken Pumpkin since its staying, But thats it for the names.

Good morning all. Happy Halloween,
Last night when I went to bed I had left one lying on the floor of the incubator that I totally expected to die overnight, but this morning its up running around and looks fine.
It's a Halloween miracle. That makes my final hatch count 3 white silkies, 2 RIRs, and 4 Buff Orphington. I started with 28 eggs, my first hatch was a tremendous learning journey.
