no kidding..its annoying to see them standing so perfectly, then a gust of wind comes plowing through right when I get a shot and when I look at it...they end up looking like crap! I'm still gonna try..getting a slow start to the day at the moment....yarg!

I was talking about that little blue boy indeed!

I will try to herd them into the coop later and get some pics. These are the "flyingest" chicks I've ever had!

They never walk, they always run/fly where ever they go! Quite comical!!

that's pretty funny...is he in the same group with that cute little splash girl you posted pics of not long ago?

Good luck to all you lucky folks hatching today!! May you all get the chicks you need!! My 4 Silkie eggs go into lockdown on Thursday, and I'm setting 18 more today!

we would like to go not sure it will happen

I understand that! I make plans for things like driving to someone's farm or for some of the big shows and things that are unavoidable always come up or are already on the same weekend as the shows so I can't get out of them. Maybe one of these days it will work out for both of us

I'm so relieved I'm not hatching right now...last year I was already setting eggs and then got hit with a really cold and snowy spring...so I had chicks everywhere! NO repeats for me...

I don't know what's wrong with me! I promised myself I would NOT set any eggs till Feb.!

With my luck, it will probably snow till June!

Hard to find those itty bitties in the snow!

I suppose i milked savoring this cup of coffee for as long as possible and am gonna have to get myself outside to feed the chickers. They got a big new years eve treat last night...so I'm sure they aren't gonna be overly hungry, but gotta get moving now. I'll see about pics at the same time if the weather behaves.

I'm quite sure they wouldn't find the humor in it!

It's only snowed once so far this winter, and it was only about a 1 1/2" at that. They were NOT amused with it either, nor were the Marans. Those silly girls will literally scold me for laying down that hideous white stuff!
