Hi 
I'm relatively new to chickens got my first chicks year before last at the end of winter we sold off our older girls and i got 7 ARAUCANA/AMERAUCANA, 4 RED STAR, 3 RHODE ISLAND RED, 1 CUCKOO MARAN, and 1 buff laced polish all are females except the polish lol it was the free non sexed and pretty sure (sparkles) as my 4 yr old has dubbed it is a boy :/ lol but its her favorite so as long as it stays nice we will keep it
Yep that's 16 chicks
they are feathering out nicely and are around 7 weeks old... well we decided to buy an incubator to try hatching some duck eggs as we also have 3 ancona ducks 1 male 2 females so we hatched out 3 ducklings but are not ready for ducklings yet so sold the babies... but with an empty incubator hubby said i should find some eggs to hatch
sooo i found a lady selling chicken eggs and bought 6 silkie bantam eggs, 2 chocolate orpington bantam eggs, and got a free bantam eggs i put 7 into my incubator as thats all it holds,, and a friend put the other 2 silkie eggs under her broodie hen they were started on june 3rd and all but one a choco orp are doing great!
can see eyes and movement when candled soo excited!!! they are sooo small!! sorry one excited chick mama and now im not sure if i post stuff in the silkie thread or incubator thread lol decisions...
