Hatch #5 - Specklehen's & Hinkjc's Eggs - MORE PICS

[PurpleChicken]

After a very hard hatch due to temp and humidy issues we managed to save
a few. Most were assisted hatches. Several chicks only lived for a short time
after hatching. It was a heartbreaker but a learning experience. We are taking
a short break from hatching anf have water wigglers on the way.

Most of the pics are from either Specklehen's or Hinkjc's eggs.

These are the ones who made it:

Fluffball Ameracauna - Not sure from who:

Buff Silkie:

Blue Orps and a few more I'm not sure of:

These two are unknown breeds from an EBAY mystery pack. They are a week older
than the babies but SO sweet with them. They have mothered the new babies
and bought themselves a place in our pet/layer flock.

A Delaware the was being picked on by the evil Delaware babies, now part of the
lucky flock:

Beautiful chicks! I see that little silkie in there! I birthed 3 a few days ago, never knew they had their own little personalities!
Great!

Thanks.

Don't mention the silkie again. It's a sensitive subject. Seriously, we started
out with 7 eggs, 3 hatched, 2 died. Same story with the entire hatch. This was
our 6th and worse hatch of the year. It happens I guess.

Now as for you birthing chickens, do you care to elaborate further? I really
wanna hear details on this.

(Don't take me seriously tonight. I'm not my normal self)

That sounded funny from my side of the www.!

Very cute little chicks...PC That first one is a winner for sure, too cute for words.. you think she's gonna be a pink one when her adult feathers come in?

She may be, just not in that picture. I'm not nearly good enough in Photoshop to
mask a dark bird on a multicolor background like that.

She is even cuter in person. Gonna have those fluffy Ameracauna chipmunk cheaks.

Oh perhaps she's a little rumpless one - gosh I want one of those little cuties SO bad......

Well one of those and a list of a bunch of others..............

I see three Ameraucanas from my crew, I think, and is that last one an Ameraucana? I'd have almost said it was a splash, but supposedly one can't get a splash from a black and blue cross. Did Jody send you some of her Araucanas? Glad you at least got some Suede babies, too! Very cute.

 

[hinkjc]

The first one looks like a black araucana and the last one might be a blue araucana. Does that last one have big tufts? It's hard to see in the pic, but it looks really fuzzy at the ears. The first one looks rumpless too.

Aww, they are so cute! the little rumpless araucana looks like a little weeble wobble, how precious.

I am so sorry that your hatch was so bad. The babies you have are really super cute though!!!!

Oh and I'm impressed that you are already all decorated for Christmas. We are SOOOO behind here:-(
