Good Morning everyone,

Good morning all!

Wow.... you got some early hatchers, I saw a few others with early hatchers in the incubation threads recently too. Congrats!

Ourlittleflock, thanks again! I told hubby last night (he didn't know what I was doing) he was actually quite excited, I had to show him what a cochin was, he'd never seen one.

Got a stinkin computer virus

7 1/2 straight hours and $170 later thanks to some nice folks from India and I'm all fixed thank goodness! Turns out the free support from your antivirus software isn't so free after all. Clicked on a stupid recipe for oatmeal cookies and everything went CRAZY!!! Grrrr.

Looks like everyone has chicks hatching left and right!!! I'm hoping in a few weeks you'll all decide you have more than you can deal with and it will be perfect timing for me to take some off your hands!!

Hoping for lots of progress on the coop tomorrow and maybe a trip to Sanford for the flock swap just for fun. Any of you guys going?

Continued good luck for all the babies in progress!!! Can't wait to see pictures!!!

Adorable pictures! Yeah lav, come one babies..

So are the barreds like other breeds where they can be sexed from day one by the size of the white dot on the top of their head? If so it looks like you have one cockerel and one pullet so far??

My little bantam hen in the barn is a new mommy this morning!

She has one cute little chick. Will get a picture when she lets me, right now she is busy being a good protective mother.

Oh, on another note, I have 4 pips this morning, one of those is almost completely zipped and two more eggs to go. The last two are my English orps and are usually slower to pip and zip.
