LOL AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN PUSH???? HAHAHAHAHA I'm sure you breathed, breathed, breathed. LOL

No I didn't push! But I did breath breath breath! And hold my breath and cry because I screwed up and lost so many beautiful babies. (My husband is so good to me by the way... I had 30 americaunas and Rhode Island reds, bout half of each 5 weeks old. He was home and we went out to eat. They were in the galvanized brooder on the back porch waiting for next step, the outdoor mini coop. A chihuahua got in it and killed them all. mostly screened in back porch mind you. We got home, I went out the check on them and found the dog in the brooder. I cried for an hour. Said that's it I didn't want anymore. Next day he brings me home the bantams that are in the big brooder) good hearted as that was of him, the brooder is what I needed empty for these babies! Sighs

You teach me the most interesting things! Thank you! Dangit I was hoping for boys. Almost all the ones they had Saturday were chocolate. And I chose chocolate ones because I like the color!

Kathy, do you hatch as a business or for work or just because it's your passion and you can?
