***OKIES in the BYC III ***

@Ksane that is a gorgeous cochin! wish i had room for him. He would have been a good match for my sweet Dora. Thought you'd enjoy this shot-


... look at these two...gizmo, the little gal i almost lost to egg binding, and cole... they act as if they've been together forever- came in and he had been up on the top of his cage by the window, gizmo had been asleep on my chair and they just kinda decided...

Look at the beautiful coloration on these babies! These are the Buttercup/EE mixes. Theyre going to be so pretty.

This is another picture of my mystery chick. No foot feathers. I might be leaning toward a blue orp bantam, but that's just a wild guess.

And, finally... SQUEEEEE!!!!! Look what Dusti and I hatched today! I'm so excited!

Congrats on the babies and the new incubator. Next thing you'll want to get is a second incubator to use as a hatcher, since you'll probably set a lot of staggered hatches, just like the rest of us

And this is me

laughing at me because I am in exactly the same place.

@Kyzmette those chicks are gorgeous. Cant wait till we get to the point where we need an incubator. Just started our emerging flock yesterday.

You have to hatch more to keep the skills sharp. (C skills) That is my excuse and I am sticking to it. lol

Staggered hatches...oh joy!
5 finished hatching today...plus two under the broody yesterday....13 in the hatcher for Thursday. ...three incubators full...oh my!

Moved the young birds outside today to let them enjoy the sunshine and grass...they went straight to a mud puddle?..had to rinse all their feet when they went back inside. Tomorrow they will begin sleeping in their outside coop.

Welcome to all the new folks...hope all your feathered dreams come true.

Tara, the Eggers are adorable lol!
Rebecca, Kass answered-but they don't crow, don't mate so they don't tear girls up, don't fight with other boys and are supposed to taste awesome (although I'm not to that point)

Coral gave me one of the Leghorn capons back I'd given her last fall. He's so beautiful!! Look at the no-comb going on with him So far I'm very pleased with his personality. He's in the yard with his sisters from the same hatchery batch, 6 18 mo old bossy Orloff girls and several other girls (plus my 5 mo Asil who won't be staying in that yard). The Capon will bow up and chest-bump right back with the bossy old hens and they backed down one by one and ran off. Yet when confronted by one of the roosters on the outside of his fence he just turns and walks away. If this is typical of Capons, this is perfect. I was afraid he'd be at the very bottom of the totem pole and get bossed by everyone. But even the older hens seem to think he's male in some way and they back down from him when they challenge him (or vice-versa). So he's going to fit in just fine. Here's the Capon


Here's the Capon boys sisters and some others from that yard. I reeeaaallly like Brown Leghorns (which is what the Capon is)



Robin, here's my Splash girl, Clack, that looks like yours. She's 3/4 Blue Ameraucana and 1/4 Blue Cochin, she laid her 1st egg today-a great big blue one, she's sister to the boy in the next picture,


And here's the boy, Click, who refused to be caponized yesterday. He started bleeding just a bit and Coral stopped-good call! Surprisingly that entire incision that had went right into his body cavity has healed completely over. He's my favorite boy from all these hatches I've had since last September. Sorry he was so spastic yesterday, Coral. It does no good to tell you he doesn't act that way at home but he doesn't lol He told me to apologize to you. That he mistakenly thought you were trying to take his manhood but he realizes now you just wanted to look

My Malays that I just adore. I've got 9 eggs from them now in the incubator. Heck of a staggered hatch but I just love these guys.





My Asil pair. I need to find out what color the male is called, he's so pretty.





And oh, Kass? You know the 2nd Oreo twin we weren't sure if he was a slip or not? Just today when I was out taking pictures I caught him crowing lol! Here's both of them.



And I wish I could get one of you all to take this boy. He's one of the Gold Laced Cochin boys I got last year (didn't hatch them). He fights with other boys (hence the scabs on his comb) but he's really beautiful and he's a nice boy, not human aggressive in the least, just wants his own women.

Ksane, those Malay are incredible!
