Don't ask me....I am always wrong! Although I do have one for sure roo in the 15 big kids. Well and probably a BR roo....looking to rehome him already!

Most of the other are pullets. I sold 20 and now I have hatched 38. Gonna put a sign down at the bottom of the mountain and see if I can sell some more!

But the comb is red. I can't tell unless others to compare to. Once they are bigger I can....lol.

Is the cat sticking it's tongue in protest to the new members of the family?

The cat looks like he is drowning his sorrows in his cat food and has lost his composure!

I'm new to the thread but I still have two batches cooking right now. One is due next week and the other the week after that. Oh and I still have one batch coming in the mail shortly.

It's a good addiction!

So many enablers around to help out!

Im done too with 8 chicks. going to set some more jap bantams, wellsumers, wyandottes and anything that comes in the mail in the next week from the egg chain and may egg swap. LOL I just want one hen from 2-3 lf birds to add to my flock... but have to set extras

hubby doesnt mind.

I ordered an eco 20 from brinsea that is supposed to be here tomorrow.... then saw one on CL so I made him drive to the ferry dock to meet a gal from VT to pick up another eco20 HEHEHE....

of course hubby is starting to be an enabler.... the first one hatched the only yellow one that we got from this hatch of that color is now "HIS"... so I call it his fluffy butt.... now he's like thats a good name for it.

watch it be a roo and then i not want to keep it....

Beautiful chicks you have there.

Is that cedar shavings??? Cedar is not good for chicks to be on just in case it is.

Thanks! I wasn't paying attention (usually I have them on newspaper) and used something I thought would be cleaner and easier to clean up. I switched them out as soon as you told me. Back to newspaper.
