Good evening everyone, I just got home from work and was checking on the chicks. I moved the two that hatch this morning out of the incubator and into the brooder. I have a few more eggs that have yet to hatch but I did hear a little bit of cheeping from them so they might hatch tonight.

So two things. First I've got to work on the water in the morning. I had a block of wood I was supporting it with before but it had got nasty and I threw it away before I set up the bruder for this bunch. looks like I'm going to have to cut another because I cannot keep it from leaking out into the shavings.

Now the more exciting news. As I mentioned before I had one more of the MFDs hatch and the mystery egg that I was sent. But right now I'm actually confused as to which is which. Lol

The mystery egg was slightly larger than the rest of the eggs so I am assuming that it would have been the bigger of the two chicks. The said both of the chicks that hatched look completely different than the other four that hatched out of the last set. Ore is much lighter and the other has some slight chipmunking. (Is that a word?)
Anyway because the mystery egg was larger I am assuming that the smaller lighter-colored one is the MFD.
I'll post more and better pictures tomorrow (hopefully I don't have another water loss tonight as last time I promise that it happened lol)
But maybe you all can help me speculate on what it might be. Right now it appears to be a feather footed variety and the beacon comb is a little bit lighter than the other chicks as well as the light chipmunk striping. It's a bantam of some kind I know and feather footed. Other than that I don't have a clue.
You can see the two new additions here standing together.

A brick is just the right size.
 
Just sitting here by the window, and watched a lone Javalina come up from the creek bed, stroll through the yard, check each door of the bunkhouse, and go back down to the creek on the far side of the yard. Just his normal route, looking for anything someone might leave out. They dig up the dirt to get to bugs & worms and make a mess on the front doors. Totally ignoring the chicken area, enclosed with electric netting -- yeah!

Good morning. Both boy slept in until 8. 🎉

I’m so glad. I was so exhausted when the Milk Drinker started fussing a bit at 6:30 and fell back to sleep on his own.

Not that 8 is sleeping in really. But it was much nicer than 6:30-45.
