Thats great news. How is everyone else doing? After this next storm passes I will be letting eggs collect. We are in the 50's now so I am happy.

Well, guess I'm out of the group this time.... all my girls quit.

Must be a result of adding the 14 newbies to the flock.... Oh well, it's a bit cold up here in NH to have chicks out in the barn.

OH so sorry. Girls must be scared of strom coming.

My first meat chicken is hatching! I apparently lost a week because I would've sworn I had more time, but nope... durr, it's been 3 weeks. This'll be the first chicken I ever hatched where I knew the parents! Heehee. (just some red sexlinks)

I have 4 silkie x cochin bantam mutts. these girls are so broody, the will hatch anything that lies still for long enough.

I took Hester's last hatchlings away from her 3 weeks ago. She snapped out of the momma thing real quickly, but it's 3 weeks later and she's sitting on the nest again!
Her sister Sussy is also broody right now. she is also sitting on an empty nest now.
The third sister Sarah currently has a little chick she hatched out for my mother.

I have ordered 6 Faverolles eggs which arrive on Saturday. I've given them each a store baught egg to sit on till the special eggs arrive.

With my 4 girls, I will never need an incubator! One of my little incubators......

GReat Photo! And I thought having two broody Cohchns was enough...I guess to keep going I'll have to get three like you have!

Due to hatch Friday--Blue Splash Marans! Seven eggs survived the three weeks, so my fingers are crossed...

Here are some pictures of my newly hatched chicks and my first time mamma:

They are so tiny and cute.

Mine, too! First to pop his/her head out from under mama just now! But I wouldn't dare put my fingers that close to mama's beak!
