The photos of the babies attached are so important to me. I have not posted on this board that I recently lost my entire flock or 42 chickens to ILT. I had to destroy them as it is a reportable disease here in Alabama. I was able to grab some eggs before the birds were dispatched and I hatched the first batch today. I got 11 chicks. I think there may be 5-6 Sizzles in the group. I have another 16 eggs in a second batch due Christmas eve so I am hopeful that I will be able to continue with my line of Buff Sizzles and Silkies as well as the Splash/Blue Sizzles. The ones that hatched today are eggs from Fancy the bird in my Avatar. Unfortunately she was the only one laying at the time so I did not rescue as many as I had hoped.
