HOORAY for 16 new Delaware babies!

Yes, I'm sorry, in all the stress, I forgot to say congrats on your new babies! Gee, maybe I should see if the feed store has some fuzzy butts I can add to these. Well, no, better not. If these don't hatch, I don't need to brood anything. If only one hatches, I need a pal for it, IF they still have some chicks.

Thanks! They are soooo sweet, and they'll be worth the trouble of brooding to me

Though, about week 5 it starts to get to me

I have an outside brooder, and an inside brooder to get them to the 3 week mark if I can stand it that long. LOTS of bedding changing!!!

I just bought a 25 lb bag of chick starter today and she tries to do that to me.

Congrats, Cindi, on the precious little ones! I wish we knew how many Dels BYC people have brought into the world in this last year-

Cyn, have fun!!!!!!

 

[Cindiloohoo]

Beth...I know I haven't brought in that many. I had incubator issues ALL STINKIN summer long! NOW, when I have to brood inside, I figure out the bator problem

Cyn, that is why she quit...because you bought the food. Is your chickens last name Murphy by any chance?

 

[speckledhen]

Well, her name is Emily, but I think maybe she can be a Murphy. Maybe they can all be named Murphy!

I know I have hatched well over a hundred Delaware chicks this year .... probably over 200. LOTS of people in my neighborhood have Delawares now!

Hey Cynthia!

I should have some bebies hatching (They're prod red/leghorn and possibly delaware mix) in the next week...if you have only one hatch and need a buddy.. lemme know

We can bring a couple up to ya. If they end up bein boys, I'll trade ya back for some pullets

(please let them ALL be pullets!!

)

That's a nice offer, Snow (funny calling you that since I have hen named Snow, LOL). Maysville is a loooong way from me, though!

I did some weighing last night. I have two Delaware roosters one from Braden and the other from Sandhill. They both weighed not quite 8#'s. The Sandhill rooster is 5.5 months old and I think the Braden rooster a little bit older. I think they are going to be big boys. I haven't decided which one I'm going to use for my spring breeding yet. I know I need to get some pictures posted.
