Aww very cute! And congrats. What breed are they? Mine are going on lockdown tomorrow! xD So excited!

Oh your right I did not say that the chicks were Molten Houdan chicks

Aww they are very sweet. I've never heard that breed before. I think I'm gonna research it. Might be a fun breed to have. What's your opinion?

This Molted Houdan is 10 weeks old






Pop on the left and Mom on the right





Most of them go to older women as the hens are so mellow or as the lady's say the hens are so sweet and easily turned into lap pets also most of the older ladys I sell them to locally allow the hens to lay the eggs in the house ..

The roosters on the other hand tend to be a bit aggressive but will still allow the owner to pick them up as if they were little dogs ...

Thanks for showing me. You know I could use some of those in my flock, I have been looking for some polish chickens, these might be the ones. I know I won't be able to order them from my local feed store, where did you get yours?

Glad you joined us! Wow that's awesome! It's rare to have double yokers. I've watched videos on people assisting twin embryos hatching, so If you need any help for when they hatch I can tell you, or you can watch the video on YouTube to help you, it's really good.

I eat all my double yolk eggs. Incubation has been done but usually only one survives and sometimes neither. Not enough room or food.

This is my second hatch in the month my first was 96% and it was in a new incubator so was pleased. the second has been a roller coaster ride. We have had high temps 30 - 40*C temperature in incubator has been up .1 of a degree but the humidity has been all over the place. I have it in a foam base and a doona and sheet folded in 4 on top to try to regulate it a bit better. Might have to build me an insulated area to accommodate my incubator and also a fridge that keeps the eggs from beginning before the incubator is ready..... all a learning curve.
