They are looking like eggs.
But still a cat.

Well, I'm happy with the chicks I managed to hatch... and yet I'm totally bummed at the same time. The last two batches yielded an average of 22% hatch rate. 13 chicks out of 60 eggs, with a price tag of $165, figures to $12.69 per chick. These chicks need to be killer birds when they grow up...

Those are some expensive little chicks. Sorry to hear about the bad luck with them Sir Ur.

On the bright side, the breeder where these birds originally came from said day-old chicks are worth $8-$10 each and started birds are worth $25-$50 each, depending on quality. My chicks are high quality, so I'm actually money ahead. Or I will be... later. In a few months...
