My favorite color is the dark "Royal" (HEHEHE) blue. I like having a splash rooster to work on color. I was really hoping my little Clementine splash (Luna) was a cockerel but, alas, it is a pullet...that's okay, though, I think I'll keep her

Go Chickies!!!



I just finished this hatch up this morning from my English Roo Charlie Blue and his ladies!!

21 chicks, 1 pipped but it died in the shell and 2 did nothing!! I'm pleased. Hubby says now where are we going to put these?

Joy- that is great! Sounds like they are coming along- come out and play, babies!!!!

And if you do hatch a splash- please give it to Jeremy- I can wait and hopefully hatch my own someday.

Thought I'd post a few pictures of Jeremy's and Beth's new babies. So far we have 7 hatched. The first photo are the ones just hatched and in the incubator still. The other 2 pictures are of the babies that hatched last evening.

Precious little ones!!!

This is exactly what I wanted to see,

I spent a good chunk of the morning at the dog park with my Corgi, the entire time though I kept thinking... "I wonder if any of those babies have made it out yet..."

SO cute!

10 hatched so far

Woohoo congrats, I have two out, & and another pipped. The two that are out have blond bellies and blond tips on their wings

This little one kept looking at me the whole time while hatching...I think it wondered why my eyeballs were so big, since they were glued to the incubator!!!
