6 out of 7 is good! Congratulations!

Thanks Rebekah !! Good to see you join us

I ended up with 6 out of 8. The last egg hasn't done anything yet and I"m not expecting it too. If you can believe this, out of 6 chicks, I got FOUR splash and 2 blues !!!

I plan on taking some pictures of them tomorrow, and will take some new pictures of the ones that hatched last week - they have already grown like crazy !!

Still, I'm pretty happy right now - I have 12 new 100% chicks -

Try Msbear (Erin) she did some really nice woodworking signs and came up with lots of different Breed pics for those.

Thanks Tricia - I'll have to take pictures tomorrow. Had the NPIP people out today and I'm still trying to get my work done !!!

Jeremy - I knew you'd be thrilled !! Tell ya what - if they are all roosters - I'll ship them to CA...how's that sound?

Jeremy - I'm sure that Dwain would be happy to draw something up and send to you. He's one of the most talented artists that I've ever known (of course I might be a tad biased). Here is a link to his webpage (though it hasn't been updated in quite a while....really need to do that !!!)

Well, I took some pictures of the babies that hatched on 03/24/2011. They are growing like little pigs. I call this photo shoot "PIGLETS ON PARADE"

Baby 1

Baby 2

Baby 3

Baby 4

Baby 5 (this picture doesn't show how fat this little thing is)

Baby 6 (Wanna bet this guy is a little cockerel? He already has wing feathers !!)

Here are 4 of the babies hatched today. The other 2 are still in the hatcher drying a bit more.
