Thanks folks, and thanks TOH!!! My two smallest babies are still in the incubator. One has come around well but the other is still struggling.

he didn't make it

I didn't think he would - I had to help him too much. The other guy did though - so I have a baker's dozen!

5 splash
2 black
2 light blue
4 dark blue/black

congratulations! a great hatch!

i always feel a little sad for the ones that don't make it out. but that is the way it works.

well, um, how bout some pics????

 

[scbatz33]

I never put photos up....here they were at a day or so old...

I had 13 total but I lost a splash and a dark blue at about 1 week. it was like they weren't eating.

Here they are today...

Oh, and here is one of TOH's by way of a gal in GA. This is Blue and he's about a year old. I love his feathery "pantaloons" He's amazing!
We let him free range with out two sex link girls. He hates being "cooped up"(yes, I intended the pun) He actually gets rather aggressive, like a dog on a chain when he's penned up. I wish he had a bit more tail, but other than that he's really cool.

What awesome orp chicks pics!!!!!!! My favorite breed of all.

I will need to order some eggs from TOH someday, hopefully soon. LOL To have one lav. would be totally over the top. Your pics of all the chicks are wonderful. You can post more pics anytime you all want to. LOL

Your rooster Blue is very handsome and nice type if I do say so myself

Maybe he just loves being with the girls, I've never had one aggressive, all puppy dogs here.
