Hector's World: Adventures and Mayhem at Mountain View Poultry (or Sequel to The Evolution of Atlas

[speckledhen]

Well, true to form, the one I am now fully sure is a son of Hector for various reasons, is doing his biting thing. Good grief, here we go! He hates being held, struggles the entire time, just like Hector still does. He is round as a kickball, shortie tail, very much a mini-Hector.
In the photos, he's Male #2. We are starting his "therapy" to stop that habit, just like we did with Mr. Hector.
First pic, he's on the left. The one on the right we have decided is a Drew, not a Drea, from the Atlas line.
There are three chicks from Hector and Jill due tomorrow under Atlas's daughter, Lizzie.

Yep, definitely sounds like a mini Hector.

So excited to see the new chicks!

oh, BYC is back! Was out of commission for awhile this morning. Here is the little goofball today. As far as Lizzie's chicks, two were in the aircell this morning, no pips that I'm aware of. Today is Day 20.

The first new Hector baby has hatched. Lizzie is being very protective now so will have to check it for sexing clues later.

You've got some beautiful barring on those birds.

Ha, me, too! Lizzie is being stingy with showing off the chicks. I know one has hatched, but I can't reach under her far enough to check without her pecking me. After DH listens to his Bible conference online this a.m., maybe I can get him to reach, his arms being longer than mine.

I can't remember, is this Lizzie's first time hatching eggs? Sounds like she's a good protective mama.
