Hatching with 2 broodies

Good news !!!!! It's a Sara

yes that final egg has hatched and if it wasn't for some great advice from all the amazing people here we probably would have only had 5 out of 7 hatch but putting those last 2 eggs under the other broodies when mommy abandoned them to take care of her new babies I can proudly say all 7 eggs hatched but with sadness 1 died shortly after hatching it never even dried off !!! So once again THANK YOU from myself and the 5 Sara's and Ariel lol. Will definately post some family pics once I get a chance to get some shots

All these babies everyone are posting pics of are just adorable
Congratulations! Such a wonderful outcome! It is awesome to think that your determination and love gave the two remaining chicks a chance and it paid off. Treasure those little bubbies, they are very very special

I am so sorry but I love this shot of the bantam crew and Petunia...caption??:

".. and it turned out that Princess Leia was, in fact, Luke's sister"

OMG! That is a beautiful, beautiful picture! Sorry for what? Making me jealous?

For once, I think I am going to be lost for words .. I really can't think how to put into words LM's wonderful news and this picture

Team Broody are THE BEST!!
 
Uh oh.... Someone save me! Those... Extra males they send? I thought I would get oh.... 3-5.... Something manageable. Yeah. They sent 9. 9 little fluffy yellow things. I can only guess.... Leghorn? Red sex link? Hubby might lock me out in the coop....

All others look great except one welsummer (pleaaase not the roo). I made sure it got some electrolyte water and am watching that one closely. Here are a couple pics. I will get more once they settle.

Awww, Marie, what's one more?? It's not like they are a bunch of noisy hormones on two legs or anything....
Hubby took the news better than expected. I told him we would keep them a couple weeks until they are a bit more tough and then maybe post them. He said "but what if they are girls? Maybe we should keep them a little longer." love that guy. I have a feeling they are sexlinks, so no chance for error there. I am going to talk to another mom at tball tonight as well. They also have a farm nearby. Honestly, we have the space to keep them, but we won't if we can find a place for them.
 
As promised I got a few pics of the whole family

This has been so much fun waiting for each and every one of these little fuzzy butts to hatch and the stress of wondering if those last 2 bubbies were going to make it or not so thankful that they have :D

So now I'm looking at my color array and am a little jealous of all those beautiful colourful bubbies!!! I now understand what chicken math is got the itch to add a little contrast to my flock :rolleyes:
