My last broody will be getting her chicks soon!

There are 22 eggs in the incubator- due tonight thru Sunday. Most will be purebred orps ( black, lav, & laced) but I added 4 EEs just for fun.
+
5 eggs under the broody now - due on Mon-Tues (These were sort of an afterthought but close enough in age to be added together. Am I the only one who does this or is it common among hatch-a-holics? In my defense, they are laced orp eggs & I didn't want to just eat them!)

so far in the incubator I have:
2 early chicks - just hatched - an EE & a lav orp
10 pipped eggs
10 unpipped

Incubator progress: Saturday noon, eve, & Sunday morning

From my lav eggs. I expected blk/lav splits.... but didn't know my roo carried choc too!


Mystery colored orp:


Mystery orp next to GG's chick (standing). Hers are either blue laced or buff Columbian depending on the roo. I love both colors! I also giggled at the "oops" photo. Can you guess which chick is already hgher in the pecking order?


Hatched some
Laced orps

and some EEs for fun

Chicks got put under Cookie & then all moved to brooder. Such a great mama! The eggs got moved to the incubator. (Six eggs left to go in various stages)

Thank you. Three more chicks are peeping in the incubator. They can meet mama in the morning.
