The little maran cross is a monster, pecking everyone and everything 🤣🤣
Congratulations on all the babies! :woot
 
It was fast in there! I think the more that are hatched, the more the rest want to hatch!

11/12 hatched! :celebrate:wee:ya:jumpy:jumpy:jumpy

I think one is a dud, but they will be in there overnight for sure to dry out and get strong.


Chocolate made a nice chocolate colored baby, will have to think of appropriate name

Harriet's babies are like little Cream Legbar babies, which is cool and they must have strong genes compared to Easter Eggers


I got one Splash baby :O and I think it must be out of the 1 regular brown egg I incubated and I have no idea WHO that could be but I am thinking it has to be one of the Sapphire Gems, and likely Dora, bc the Splash chick has some black skin/comb -- and so does Dora.


I mostly wanted Pudding babies, because Pudding is our *darling* puppy dog chicken, so is SO sweet and curious and docile and friendly. HER babies are the colors of the rainbow! They are both EE so both just mutts and their babies are mutts and man, they made some pretty babies! Reds and golds and tans and browns, I love it!

Beards/Muffs must be dominant, as all the babies look like EEs with puffy cheeks

You can spot chocolate's baby hatching in the back :D

Congrats on your great hatch !! ♥️
 
My husband had already came up with "Cocoa" for Chocolate's baby :love :love

but omg Snickers is so cute

naming the one random red chick Ruby, I think - no clue how we got a red chick out of Pudding. She was tan chipmunk as a baby - maybe its just EE being EE.

They are all being crazy in there. Brooder is all ready to go but I'm going to let them stay in the static environment of the incubator tonight. Also give that last egg some time, who knows, it might still be good.
