The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

Congratulations Irene!!! Chocolate chicks are always fun to take pictures of. They are very photogenic. ESPECIALLY in the sun!
And thank you for that incubator tip.

I am going to apply that method this hatch. Ive got a couple of different BBS lines incubating and i want to keep them seperate to band them.

I got a toe punch.... let me tell you .. they work if you can do the chicks as you take them from the bator and put them in the brooder... yep.. I have no trouble telling who is who... now when they get bigger.... I will band them as well. But they grow soo dang fast... so this way I won't worry about anything getting too tight :)

When you punch the toes do they bleed? Is it a lot?
 
Here is a photo parade from my trip to the barn today. I hope you enjoy.
