thanks henthymes...I guess patience is a virtue and I need to wait and see...like waiting for Santa when I was a kid...hard to do!

Speaking in bbs, thought I would share a picture of my bbs flock.

Your Orpingtons are beautiful!! I will also be hatching in May- Blue Jersey Giants. I'm only going to do those two breeds. I've had Buff Orpingtons before...loved their personality ...never had Jersey's before...I think they sound, personality wise alot like the Orpingtons.

Talk about variety.... this was my hatch from yesterday.

That's a black split, a lav and a black mottled.

The mottled is the yellow chick with the big black spot on it's back. The "split" is the black chick. It is black but it is "split" to lavender. That means it carries the lavender color gene. The lavender is the little silvery grey chick.

how many are there still to hatch? are they all from the same flock as these? will you keep updating pictures as they grow? they look terrific.

unfortunately, they are the only three from this hatch. I had some incubator issues. I strayed from my normal process to accommodate more eggs that I normally incubate at once ( i REALLY REALLY need a cabinet incubator)

Yes, they are all from the same parent stock of lavender "project' birds.

But I will keep pics. I like to track the growth of my chicks. Especially since I'm hatching way more than I usually do to get better flock numbers this year.
