They are marvelous! Can't wait to see them fluffy and dry. Nice job!

Congratultions! I just love the smile on the face of that little boy! That's what's it all about! The babies are beautiful! Yeah!!! Finally!

When's the next batch starting???

 

[MissPrissy]

I was looking at your photos again. By the looks of those eggs shells you are having a nice clean hatch. Those should be some very healthy and active chicks when you get them in a brooder and they start eating.

Oh they are beautiful, such fantastic pics

Thanks MissP! That pic. of the Delaware laying on the Blue Orp. egg that is trying to hatch is the blue that I am worried about. It has been that way (zipped all the way around) since about 7:30 or 8:00 last night. Should I intervene and help this baby out???

Congratulations!!!!

I'm going to the P.O. to pick up some eggs right now.

Thanks to all of you for your kind comments! It sure has been fun watching the miracle of life happen!

As if 8:30 on day 22, I have 3 Black Orps., 4 Blue Orps., 1 Splash Orp., and 16 Delawares. I still have 2 zipping, 1 pipping, and 6 that aren't doing anything.

I had to help a chick out of its shell earlier today and I am happy to announce that "she" is doing great!
