OK, I will just have to wait for spring for my Delaware babies (Cynthia, please keep me on your mentallist!)and hope all of you will keep sharing via pictures,so I can watch them grow with you.
Elias, those chicks look adorable -

Beth, do you want me to contact you if the next customer doesn't want them all? You're close enough to come get them!

Say YES!!

 

[joletabey]

YES!!!! When do they hatch?????

 

[speckledhen]

Day 20 just started about 2 hours ago. The customer is coming up the weekend of the 13-14-15th, to get whichever ones he wants and I'll know for sure after he's gone. There are 21 Dels and 2 BBS Orps in there. Hoping they all hatch!

nope glue holds fine... it only gets about 90 in the brooder and i think the hot glue melts at 150 or so... so should be fine for a long time... i don't know how long it will last but i suspect more than a year...

Well I made it home last evening from Cynthia's with my 19 babies.I got the chance to see Isack and the girls.They are as good looking in person as they are in the pictures.My little babies are all doing great .I will post pictures soon.Cynthia and her husband were a pleasure to meet.

Oh and nobody was blocking the driveway trying to steal my babies!!!!

Well, if he takes them all, the first broody of next year gets Delaware eggs as long as they aren't slated to go to another customer at that time. There will be Delawares in the mountains of GA!
James, there you are! Great to meet you, too! Enjoy the little ones--they won't be little for long!

Ok, i am going to try that. I just bought a new hot glue gun and sticks the other day. To use on the mealworm vents.

That is going to be alot easier than drilling holes and zip tying the hardware to the brooder.

Geez, I found out where the phrase "getting goosed" came from. I have the 6 little Dels outside and I am trying to get pictures. Everytime I squat down to take a picture, my African Goose Hammy sneaks up behind me and gooses me! If he wasn't such a cutie I would invite him to dinner.
