They look great! It would be interesting to compare their growth to the 'average' chicks by pictures for 4 to 6 weeks...bet their size will really show that way...

On new years day, I should have some regular LF chicks and CX mixes hatching at the same time. That would be a good group to do that with

I just put 7 eggs into lockdown. 4 black Ameraucanas and 3 Mille Fleur Leghorns. I'm really hoping they hatch and I get at least 1 male leghorn to survive.

Yay!!!! Ohh I can't wait to see those little Black Ams! I have one left in the incubator that needs to hatch! (Pictures in a few, computer is acting up).

Speaking of shavings . . .
If anyone in the Chester Co area wants to get a supply of cheap shavings for bedding, Pughtown Agway has a brand the horse people didn't like, but I think works great. They have too much of it and are selling it to me for $3 a bale (about half price). If you tell them you are "Dennis' friend and want the $3 shavings" they will give you the same deal.

Oh wow. I might actually need to go down and get some, it's worth the drive for me unless my feed mill miraculously has them cheaper (I doubt that).

I actuary remembered to lock down my eggs this week . There are 2 seramas and 2 sumo wrestlers (CX outcross) due on Friday Here's are the ones from last Friday that hatched in the cabinet. They're the big fat yellow ones. These were taken the day they hatched.

Wooohoo!! More babies! They're so beautiful!

I wish we lived closer, I would love the chickens and the ferrets! We had one when I was a teen and then two more when my kids were babies. I regret rehoming the last 2 we had, we only did that because they were biting my son and pooping everywhere, not in corners like the first one did.

Congratulations! I still can't get over how tough yet fragile chickens are.



It's so much fun isn't it?!

Ferrets can be finicky, but honestly once you understand how they work it's a piece of cake. When we can we're going to be opening up an animal rescue, starting with ferrets.

Last night into this morning was a roller coaster, and there's one more baby that needs to hatch still. He's having a little bit of trouble but I'm sure he'll get it.

Good news!!! Third egg hatched!! Little one thinks he's a warrior or something lol, he keeps hopping instead of walking and is attacking the thermometer

Oh, just wait until bug eyed turkey poults start hatching!

I’d kill for SPR eggs. My last chance for more was killed by a dog.

I need a new rooster, as soon as I get one you and Annie will be getting eggs.

 

[BullChick]

I still have four. They are gonna die soon.
Actually, I will keep one for future breeding.

Not sure if it's the new coop or because I was calling everyone a bunch of freeloaders yesterday, but I woke up to this this morning...

First egg from my silkie in months! It's a bit torpedo-y, but I'll take it!
