Hey everyone. Thanks, we had a very relaxing time. No phones for seven whole days. No Puter either. I missed everyone and am glad to be home. All my birds were well taken care of by Just Likes to Hatch down the Road from me and his dear wife. Treated them like they were their own. Well I will talk to you all tomorrow. Got to go to bed. I'm still rocking from being on the ship.

Welcome back, Julie. I am trying to post some photos of the babies that hatched.

Here is a photo of the feet and legs of the baby from the egg marked mottled orp.

They are not black feet and legs like my other black orps.

Pardon the pruple polish. It is how I am telling this chick apart from the others in the hatch. I had a batch of Jimmy's eggs hatching with your eggs. I painted those blue. I was afraid I would get confused and not be able to remember who came from where!

I love the fact that you painted all the nails....not just a few!!

 

[MissPrissy]

I couldn't paint just one!

I painted all of them on every marked chick! I HAD to. It must be my OCD or something! LOL

 

[Katy]

I hope it's a pullet or else he'll grow up confused!

I was going to say that would be one mad, mean rooster!...

 

[MissPrissy]

I painted the chick's toe nails from Jimmy's eggs blue.
