"Springing in the Chicks" 2016 April Hatch-a-Long Hosted by Mike & Sally

Ended up with 5 EEs. They are doing great and are soooooo darn cute! The dark one is hard to see in the pic but she's in there. I have a favorite. Shame on me. The lightest one is so pretty!

1 OE hatched... Not in the picture. But can't stand up very well. Poor thing keeps falling over and can only stand up if it hangs out with its left side near the wall. I swear it's body looks twisted. Like it's right wing is closer to the top of its body and it left wing is droopy. Hubby wants to take care of it... I don't wanna know...

@Chaos18 I have 6 eggs going in lockdown this afternoon. (Started with 7, 1 was infertile, remaining 6 look good.)

So excited to lockdown the incubator this afternoon with the class that I am hatching for. They have been so excited and have been practicing "cheeping" to encourage the chicks to hatch!

i'm glad the kids have been practicing their "cheeping"

still hatching started 24th due 25th The wants out !!

these HRR they are bright red flash lighted them. Broody hatched them. Light one cochin bantam




24th hatching
some wheaten Ameraucana chicks I guess the rooster I went all the way to Sacramento isn't pure. Getting some strips on their backs....With the Wheaten rooster that died the chicks were always pure yellow at birth. then within a few days their color would come in....
I know where my hens came from and have always been penned up. So guess I'll be looking for another good wheaten ameraucana roo....

Waiting we want out !!!!! LOL

They sure do want out!
