I meant to tell you on my last post that your chicks are adorable. I want to hatch too now, looks like so much fun!

It's fun but frustrating when you get a bad hatch rate. My tweaks to my incubator seem to be helping as the temp has only fluctuated .4 deg in over 24hr. It was nothing close to that before sometimes jumping more than a degree in a couple hours. Hoping for a good hatch rate this time! I might hatch more later this summer but for now this will be my last batch. Too many chicks to find homes for! lol

Can't wait to see pics of the new chicks. I've been working (I'm a nurse and work nights) so today starts my 7 off so I'll get more pics of the growing girls up soon. My girls are still great in the garage brooder. They will stay there till late April early May. Then outside to the big summer coop and run. My older girls are in the insulated winter coop now. We hope by the end of the summer we can integrate the two coops and runs so they are all together. Gonna attach the summer coop to the winter coop and enclose it more. So I'll have a few projects this summer. Gonna be fun!!!

I got my chicks today! The girls are doing great! Couldn't take to many pics but here are a few (sorry bad pics from my phone but all I have right now)

This is one of the olive eggers.

I realized that I don't think I've ever posted pics of my Meyer Hatchery chickens on here…despite posting on this thread often! I'm such a slacker! Here are my females, all from Meyer, hatched July 2013. These pics are a bit old, they've filled out quite a bit since these were taken.


The two pics are of my Blue Ameraucana. She's my prettiest girl, in my opinion.


This is my easter egger. I'm the only person I've seen who got a SOLID cream easter egger from Meyer Hatchery. I'm sometimes jealous of other people's more elaborately colored EEs, but she lays beautiful light green eggs.


I ordered two blue silkies and got one black and one blue splash.


This is my Black Copper Maran. She is solid black, no copper in neck, but does have feathered legs.

Everyone together.


My eggs, which I've shared before. Every single female lays a uniquely colored egg, even the silkies, so I can always tell them apart.

Sounds like a great project. Looking forward to seeing photos of your girls and their coops.
