Welcome Elizabeth. Looking forward to pics.

I need to get some updated pics of my own OEGB chicks, lol! The oldest ones are miniature mini-chickens already, and of the four, I'm sure three are male (they're only a month old and have huge combs!). Just my luck!

I ended up with twelve out of fourteen that hatched. Two died of unknown causes. One I found partially hatched (from the eggs I let the hen brood) and cold, and actually managed to save. With a lot of help from @Miss Lydia I might add. Walked around for a while just breathing on the little thing to warm it up until the incubator was up to temp (it had been turned off the week before). Also put in the four remaining eggs from the broody, and another chick hatched. She hatched out three other, and two have survived and are doing great in their communal lodgings with Daddy and the other two hens!

I went to pick up one of the chicks in with the adults and got attacked by ALL of them! Lol! Well, Daddy is a good Defender!

Protecting their own from the big bad boogie man. lol

I was actually quite happy to see the reaction, even if my wrist is now sore. They will be a good family unit when they return to the outdoors and I let them raise their own there.

Okay, not the greatest of pics, but here's one anyhow!
