November/December "Hatch-a-Long"

[DeannaA]

Let's all just be calm here. The problem with only typed words on a page is that we cannot see each other, hear the "speaker's" voice tone and inflection and a hundred other subtle things that make up communication. My comment was tongue-in-cheek and pointed at MYSELF because I commented on the naked chicken in a "hatching" thread. It was NOT pointed at you. I've been bashed as well for asking even breed related questions in a breed thread and trust me, what I said was not bashing and not even about the naked chicken. It was a reminder to myself to try to keep on topic. If I ever intend to intimidate or scold anyone here, you will know it without a shadow of a doubt but that's not what I'm here for.

Yes, tell me (us) to stay calm is much more friendly.

My new babies

This one's my favorite! She's an olive egger. Not 100% sure on the mom, but the dad was a blue copper marans. She is even fluffier than she looks in the pic with a beard, muffs, & feathered shanks. She loves to snuggle too!




I'm really excited to see this one feather out! She's from a Dark Brahma mom and a Blue Copper Marans dad. She has really heavily feathered legs.



And my last 2 Olive Eggers. One is clean faced/legged with a straight comb and the other has puffy cheeks, a peacomb, and a random patch of fluff on her ankles but the rest of her legs are clean.


Can't wait to see how they feather out!


Weather depending, quail eggs should be here Wednesday. I just ordered the attachments for my automatic turner to hold quail eggs. I didn't know they made them I thought I was going to have to do all 120 by hand!!!

Max's diaper is suppose to come in the mail today. I can't wait. I am tired of following him around with a roll of toilet paper. He will not be so happy. He is already anoid at the little chicks running around with him, eating his food, getting attention. I have to make a lid for their brooder. I figured I am already clean poos and it has helped them get used to me. I've never had my chicks visit so much. They are so sweet. There's a couple stealing Max's food right now. But now it's time to shampoo the carpets, again. I can't wait. I can take off the protective blakets and towels covering my room. Woo hoo!

My 7 month old hen decided to go broody this week. Do you think chicks hatched nov 21 would be too old to try to have her adopt them as her own?
