I am happy for the Neville landing and hope to see everyones pics soon. Congrats on all the chicks. Joy I want to know the colors.

Well, I have 2 more out - total of 3 hatched so far and five more to go !!! One of the one's that just hatched is light blue - the other is dark, but he is still wet, so I can't tell if he is a darker blue or black.

Hey Sandy, won't even cost you any oger food. I trimmed mine back in Dec but didn't seriously set any eggs until last week because I was waiting on Thurston to mature more. Set 51 eggs, and thankfully 50 are fertile from 8 hens. I'm sorry I'm so slow responding but not home enough to keep up with thread. Have to ride herd at the chicken ranch you know. Before trim, no fertiles at all out of other roosters.

You old rooster!! I've been worried about you!!! I'm going to call on you if and when it's time for butt trimming.

Thanks for thinking of me Sandy, no need to worry though. I fall off the roost every now and then but always get back up. Hope you soon get good eggs but feel free to holler at me if I can ever help.

Joy, if you are not gonna leave those eggs in the bator long enough to hatch, might as well just put them under your wings, ha. My way of callling you an angel.
