I HAVE BABIES!!!!!!!!!!

[mudderhen]

Oh, Yea me!!! I have been waiting for what seems like forever for my blue orp. eggs to come and then hatch. Well, I gat a wonderful surprise this morning when I got up... My bator was chirping! When I looked inside, I had a little blue baby! As of now, I have two babies(I actually got to watch the second one hatch), and I have six more eggs that have pipped today! Like a proud mama, i've taken lots of pics, so I will try to download some of them.... Sorry but I am so excited I just had to share the latest of the fuzzy butt news with everyone!!!!

OMG, I just LOVE the pictures of those little fluffballs. Totally adorable! Lucky, lucky you! I want to reach through my screen and just pick them up and give them a snuggle. FABulous!

Oh Mudder, I am so happy for you. I just love my two blue orps. You will have to come see them. Lori and I were waiting on chicks today, but they didn't come. I have my fingers crossed.......

Welcome to the world little chickies!

They are SO cute! I love the picture of the one half-in the shell still!!! I've never seen a chick hatch, and I'm not brave enough to try hatching my own... so these picture are SO cute!

Thanks y'all. Korfus gave me so many eggs, I gave some of them to Missouri chick cause I didn't have room in the bator. Hers are due to hatch next week. I have four babies and four that are pipped. Missouri chick gave me some serama eggs, and one made it out of those. His name is "Prince Chirping", and he is two inches tall and bullet proof.

I can tell you all that I am very impressed with Christinas eggs. They traveled cross country from Washington state to Northeast Georgia the week of July 21st, and I will have 8 babies that I know of right now, maybe more. None were broken, and I have had this many make it. This is my first attempt at hatching orps, and I have heard that they are hard to hatch, but WOW!!!
