Instant flock!!!

I won a BYC mille cochins egg auction from wwmicasa1 and I'm overrun with millies! 75% hatch rate with shipped eggs. The 1st batch of eggs got 'diverted' by the PO and took a week to get to me. Out of that group 20% hatched! It's a wonder any made it. Lynne, so kindly, sent me a second set of eggs and out of 12, I have 9 new fluffs. One was a day early but the rest popped out on day 21. Everyone looks great so far. 1st set of millies are doing great as well.

In the photo above, the eye of the Calico chick has a smiley face in it. Too funny!

Those are some of my 2 mth olds.
