I think I just realized that I am becoming a victim of chicken math!! A couple months ago I had a nice little flock of 9 chickens...today I have 31 chickens and 76 eggs in incubators. Oh, and there's those 21 guinea eggs

To Loriemarler......He looks like an Ameracana but not a bantam.

Not an Ameraucana. Wrong feather color and leg color to be an Ameraucana. I'm not seeing muffs or beard on it either.

X2. Could be an easter egger though. Not all EEs have muffs and beard. If it really does have a pea comb (I can't quite tell) and depending on age I would guess it's a boy given how red it is.

Got back yesterday from NC and my son's wedding, it went just perfectly.

One of my hens has been sitting on 7 eggs, I decided to just let her hatch them if they hatch. They started hatching the night before we got home (my daughter was here watching everyone) and she ended up hatching out 6 chicks. She's big black Brahma mix and the daddy is a gorgeous Faverolles/Orloff mix. I did take the chicks inside and replaced them with 2 turkey poults. She loves her turkey babies and I was wanting a couple turkeys anyway A Blue Slate and a Bourbon Red (or Bronze).
My Silver Bantam Ameraucana has also been sitting on eggs. I went out and checked this morning and a bunch were pipped and 1 was hatched but she'd scalped him pecking at him. His scalp is peeled back from his eyes to the back of his neck, both eyes are intact though. I don't know if he'll make it but he's sweet and responsive so he gets a shot at it.
I took the other eggs away and put them in my old styrofoam incubator and they're popping like popcorn, 4 hatched so far. I guess she's a new mom and thought that creature under here was trying to steal her eggs.
Jumped right back into hatching and I hadn't even gotten back yet!
