Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

[Mr MKK FARMS]

Thanks everyone! I was going to post some pictures for you earlier, and as soon as I was in the process of doing that, our power went out. Some of our neighbors were cutting down trees right next to the power lines and a tree fell directly on them. I had quite the time trying to keep my chicks warm. At first I put them back in their little box that they came in, but they got too hot. So I put them back into the garage for a few minutes. The guys who knocked the power lines down continued to work around the down power line, and the ones over our yard were shaking and waving around, and the lines run right above our garage. I immediately got them out of the garage and sat them in the sun on our porch. Thankfully I was able to keep them warm in the 2 and a half hours that we were without power!

Here are some pictures!

These are the two Easter Eggers,

















These are the Campines,









These are the White Leghorns,









These are the Buff Orpingtons,





and this is the other Black Australorp with one of the Buff Orpingtons.

So cute!!! <3

Oh, I was out taking pictures and I got one of Frou-Frou (my Meyer blue splash Marans) that I just had to share! I love this bird!

Yay! Have only had my two Meyer Easter Egger Started Pullets for 10 days and one of them is already laying! A lovely Bluish Green. Quite small, but it's only the first one, so I'm sure the size will increase soon.

PLUS, one of my original Meyers flock from December also laid for the first time today! How cool is that? Only 19 weeks! Not sure who yet, but most likely the Black Australorpe, Koko or the Barred Rock, Miss Kraeg. Both of these ladies have grown very nice red combs and lovely wattles lately and have found their voices, too.

What a happy day this is!

That's great!!! I can't wait for my very first egg. But I have a ways to go. They're only 8 1/2 weeks old.

They are all so cute!! You sure will remember this batch of chicks... sheesh... that's stressful.

NotableNancy: That's for sure!

Do you guys have any name ideas for the two Campine chicks?? I came up with names for everyone except those two. I wanted something that kind of matches their personalities. They are both very active and spazzy.

The Easter Eggers names are Amber and Ellie. The Leghorns are Annie and Alice. The Buff Orpingtons are Sunni and Daffodil. (Or Daphodile) and my last Black Australorp is named Lilly.

Well, campines are a Belgium breed, and when I think of Belgium I think of chocolate (see my signature line almost anything makes me think of chocolate) so I'd say Godiva and Neuhaus.

These are the Campines,

They are all super cute, but my oh my the Campines are stunning! Makes me think about adding one to my October order... are these the goldens?

 

[MsChickenMomma]

Those are all cute names! I'll be considering them

I really like Lucy. I must really like names the end with the sound "e". I have 27 chickens with names and 13 of them end in either ie, i, or y.

I was thinking maybe Lizzie for one, but I already have so many names that end with that sound. I guess it couldn't hurt to name them Lucy and Lizzie! lol
