I for one would like an update on these babies and the other hatches that if not out should be out soon.

I know I asked to be put on the egg list but would like to remind you of that Jody. Good luck on these and the new babies to come. Sure hope they are all girls.

And if ya ship I would like to take a roo or two as well as Miss P.

Happy Hatching to you and hubby

Ah, Jean - you guys are due for an update, aren't you.

I believe dh updated our web site with the recent hatchlings. I will give a bit of an update here as well. I have to get some updated pics of little Lucas and the young ones growing out.

As you know, I got 5 babies from the 5/20 hatch.

Had 2 eggs go to the hatcher on 5/26 and only 1 hatched, so this little one joined the other 5...These 6 are currently brooding with Lucas, which is the name we decided on for the little one. He's a couple weeks older than them, but being nice and all are doing well.

On 6/2 we had another hatch of 5 more Lester babies.

8 more are due on 6/12.

We also set another small group of eggs on 5/31, but haven't candled those yet to see how they're doing - they will be due around 6/21.

Since I am anticipating 50% roos on all of these hatches, I will continue weekly hatches until I am out of brooder space to build up 2 groups of ladies for Lester and Lucas. Hoping some of these early hatchlings will start producing eggs by winter, so we can continue right through. If not, we will plan to resume early next spring for our lavender offspring.

Thanks for the update. I'm really watching this project. I love orps and I love the fact that several people on this board have special projects going on to create some more varieties here in the U.S.
