Erin,

Your baby is precious! I just love

the blonde babies...I'm just sure they are pullets

Your eggs were shipped this morning so make room in that bator.

I have 8 more babies

& will post pics is a few minutes. Congrats to ALL!

Rosemary,

Msbear is right. Just leave the eggs to pile up & they are sure to go broody.

I already have 2 broodies & they have been laying less than 2 months. Fingers crossed for you.

So glad you are back home & happy!

I love how you pose your chicks, Lynne, like they are in a mini chick photo studio! LOL, I do the same thing. They are sooo cute.

I have to admit my secret!

I can't get babies to sit still long enough to take pics.

So I have a basket with the pink fabric next to the brooder. The basket is deep & the fabric is slick....hense the little buggers can't jump out before I'm finished taking photos

Works every time!

What a great little brood, Lynne! From your experience, are the lightest ones pullets? Then you have dark and darker...!

I really don't know if the light ones are pullets...they just look more feminine.

I haven't been able to sex any of the older ones yet. I do have 3 light buff from previous hatches & should be able to tell sex soon.

I still have 2 more hatches in the bator.

What the heck am I going to do with all these chicks!!???

I think those are supposed to come to me.
