May hatch-a-long

Oh I'm hoping I got a bard rock egg

Here and picures of my flock and my feed store chicks.

I have a brooder bin but 12 chicks quickly became to much for it so i had to biuld then a brooder pen instead. I have a mini coop (prefab coop and run) in the chicken run that the chicks will move to for integration. I think being a fully insulated garage they are feathered enough I can steal their light for the brooder bin for the hatchlings. I'm worried about if I have to seperate the sebrights from the others due to size. If i do i have to move the feed store chicks out but the standards in the pen and keep the sebrights in the bin but ill have to run and get a second light (might do that just in case)

Ok now the pics

Oops forgot the feed store chicks, didn't think to get pics of the sebrights they are in a seperate pen.

2 leghorns
2 buff orpington
2 speckled Sussex
1 black cooper Marans (lost one early one)
1 cuckoo maran
And 3 not sure what they are possibly bantam

Oh and the sebrights were prebreed to their sebright rooster I just collected the first few eggs for incubation

Leghorns, or white leghorns to be correct. I should have specified. They will be my first white egg layers

I have a white leghorn and she is my best laying and also my only white egg layer they are very good hens

I love having color in my flock and color in my eggs makes them so much more fun to look at

Day 6 and 7 pics of a Bantam egg. Wish I could find my good flashlight for the dark eggs but I'm sure it'll turn up before next week.
