***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[bardies]

@ashtree wanted to see my other Cochin chicks, so I thought I'd show everyone. They're cruddy pics, but I was in a hurry. I'm pretty positive they're all Cochin, but non-standard colors except for the black one. Lesson learned when buying hatching eggs. I love them though, so it's all good. None ended up frizzled, which was another disappointment. The black one is my only boy, I think, which is good. Notice my young Blue Double-laced Barnie--I'm excited for her to grow up. She's got a fella waiting on her and her splash sister.

I've got some Tolbunt Polish eggs on the way...fun! Odds are 50/50 on frizzled, so maybe I'll get lucky there.

I believe that @kelielliott was also interested in banty cochins!

I only hatched the lone banty egg. The rest of these are large fowl. When I ordered the eggs, I paid for 6 large fowl. She threw in LOTS of bantam eggs, so i put them under a broody. Lost the broody to the heat so put what I could (they were COLD when I discovered the broody had passed) into my mini with the other eggs. just the one survived.

I can't wait to see these big girls grow up!

That first one is beautiful. Those are fun colors! Im really liking them all. And fingers crossed on a frizzle polish! They're incredibly cute.

My most favorite pet is my tiny Serama rooster, Channing. His little "Henlet" has been sitting on 2 of his eggs and 1 is pipped!!!!
I held it up to my ear and actually heard the baby peep!!
I'm going to have a Grand Chickie!!! I hope they both hatch, these will be THE most spoiled birds their whole lives )))
Channing's nickname is "B" (long story). So this 1st baby's name is going to be "Mini B". I hope it goes ok

i like the coloring of the first one too. OOHh!... i would love a Tolbunt but they are so expensive hope you have a good hatch rate.

Me too! I pre-ordered the eggs, so I won't even get them for a month. So, I'm still looking for some neat eggs to hatch now. I have two mini bators...one is empty. Seems wrong, lol.

Not really a bad thing if you need to quickly pull new babies - you can use the second mini as a mini brooder

Thanks for thinking of me @bardies! I am really wanting those lemon blue, self blue, blue or lavender bantam Cochins! Who would have known it was so hard! And I guess I am also off season!

My Serama, Channing, is a baby-daddy We had to leave earlier and when we got back his hen had pushed the pipped egg about a foot away from her and it was cold. Yes, you know it, I felt like bawling. I could hear faint clicking noises so I put it in the small incubator I've left running in case I needed it. He'd been pipped almost 24 hrs so I went ahead and peeled chunks of shell away. Yolk and veins were absorbed. He stretched and popped the top off the shell and I left him there with the bottom still on him. I'll check him in a few hrs again. He's tiny and black and precious!!! I'm hoping the other hatches, too.
