Well..Sylvia Cochin is hatching them out like crazy. I thought I was buried in Silkie babies before...now I really am going to have to part with some.
If only they weren't such disgustingly CUTE!! babies.!!

If anyone has some Sebastopol babies..I would sure do a trade for something else I have.

My broody in the cage doesn't seem to be gonna hatch any more than those two - which is fine. I'll move her and babies back to their coop today - I hope everyone is cool with them - they are brahmas, so a pretty easy going bunch, I think it'll be fine.

Just the one rockin' baby, still - the other eggs aren't doing a thing. But that one is rocking like crazy

Amazingly, I have not opened that hatcher lid once (yet

)

Oh, and Jr. is AWOL again - not sure if she is sitting on eggs somewhere (not in the barn this time) or if that hawk got her. Haven't seen her in a couple of days. Do oeg go broody a lot? cause she is 3/4 oeg. Strangest darn chicken I've ever known. I don't even consider myself owning her - she just happens to hang around here when she feels like it. Nevermind that she is hatched here on the farm from my own birds- she is her own boss, comes and goes as she pleases.

I know her mama has to go - and soon, that crowing drives me nuts. (she's another reddish chicken

go figure - they're all psychotic. although she's more a buff/orange than red, she is still the second weirdest chicken I've ever met - Jr. being the first.) I haven't had a Jr. egg for over a week, so I'm assuming she is hiding them and sitting on them, cause she just disapeared a couple days ago.

so, I'm just waiting waiting waiting....

waiting on my goose egg, waiting to hear an answer from Miss ShelleyD

and waiting to see if Jr. shows up for her daily "eat and run".

OEG are very broody. Gretta had chicks when I bought her in September, and has went broody 3 times since then. She is setting right now, and has been for about 7 weeks. I'm gonna let her stop when these eggs hatch, they came from the bator, so they should all hatch around the same time.

The Brahmas are IN the building!!!!! woohoo!!!

VERY nice looking babies, too - nice leg feathering, light color (not muddy) small, but hatchery chicks are always smaller than my home hatched ones. All healthy and peeping happily in the brooder.
Cackle sent me an extra one, so I have 26 light brahma babies. I'd like to get 10 or 12 girls out of the bunch, hopefully I have that many

I'll be able to tell in a day or two - brahmas are easy to sex. I also need a little roo, so I can choose out of all the little roos to pick a good one.

I can't get over that leg feathering - so nice and thick

It was worth it to wait to get em from Cackle, I guess. Day & Day never did get any in from Mt. Healthy. I did get one Brahma baby that they had from a private breeder (the only one left) and it looked muddy - these ones look very clean, just a little dark on their wings that are feathering in right now. I have ONE brahma hen who looks "right" (the one I got from Shelley's dad - Eleanor) the others are all muddy looking, sweet, nice birds, but muddy. She is also the top hen in that pen - I guess good looks make for popularity among chickens, too

I hope my Delawares come looking so nice (and not muddy). Two weeks on those, and they ought to be here.

I have yet to do chores - no one out there expects me this early, anyway

got a pic...

Well..Sylvia is down to her last two eggs..one is pipped. Darn impressive for 21 eggs. I have 18 baby Silkies. We lost one in the shell. Maybe 19 before the day is over. Funny thing about it is that she went broody on one Cochin egg...which is the only one that hasn't pipped yet.

I have one slw - she has never indicated going broody, but she is an odd chicken (we named her Spazz). The only welsumers I've had were a couple of mix chicks I had hatch under a broody - both turned out to be roosters. The one was very aggressive, the other is a lot more docile, but he still has to go - no red chickens here (especially red roosters

)

Hope someone else is a better source of info for ya.

My friend Roger is coming over this morning so I'll give him your telephone number when he gets here. I can't recall why he is coming over

I think he and hubby are going to look at Fuel Tanks (farm ones, for pumping your own fuel) - sounds like fun.... Not. Glad I don't have to go along
