I got sixteen eggs set!

I'm so excited, I'm going to pretend I'm hatching

Let's do some chicken updates.
I unfortunately ended up losing my little chick, I managed to keep him alive almost a whole week I think it was but he crashed and there was nothing I could do...
I did end up getting two other chicks around that time. A little Barnie and a (supposed) EE, not really your usual looking EE but then again I've only ever had two of them

Muffet photo dump!

And some house quail cuz why not

I guess I’ll do an update as well…my oldest hen, Peeper, just turned eight years old, and a few of the others are seven I’m starting to get eggs, which is exciting, mostly from the older hens; my young Welsummers are slacking.

I just got some chicks on Wednesday, after standing in line for almost two hours…Some Delawares, Light Brahma, New Hampshire red, and a brown Leghorn, named Poppy because we’re for sure keeping her. Half of them are for the neighbor, but he doesn’t want a Leghorn. So anyway, here’s a few photos…
The babies:

Little blind Gidget:

Old Peeper hen:

This thread has been so quiet Out of the babies I got, we kept six, one of whom is a gorgeous Brahma cockerel, named Soup. He needs to stop being so sweet, or else he’ll never live up to his name I don’t have the hens or the room to keep a second roo, unfortunately. We kept three Delaware pullets, Loretta, Olive, and Gabby; one Brahma pullet, Betty; a Leghorn, Poppy; and Soup. Anyways, here are some cute growing up photos of the babies

Olive, maybe?

Not sure how old Soup was in this photo…4 weeks maybe? I started suspecting he was a boy pretty quick

Yep, definitely a boy…

All the babies!

I can’t tell the littles apart in photos anymore, they’ve changed so much. So this could be anyone, but I’m guessing it’s Olive, cause she’s naughty and would sit on the waterer.

I *think* this is Gabby.

And this is Betty the teeny tiny Brahma. She’s smaller than all the Delawares

Soup all grown up.

Pretty Poppy.

Miss Loretta showing off.

Little Betty again.

I’m almost regretting getting more chickens, because the status quo was so calm in the house until I added the pullets…I love them though, they’re all so sweet and friendly.

2 weeks ago i hatched successfully with a broody for a first time! The yellow chick for sure came from my light brahmas egg, then the partridge chick is either from my partridge cochin or my russian orloff/partridge cochin mix hen
