tuffoldhen's BBS Orp chicks!

Sometimes I feel guilty when I have the 100% hatches over and over again from my own birds even though I spent so much time trying to get here with 0% hatches or 2 chicks out of 18 eggs and being disappointed. They certainly are a job to acquire.

This hatch was the best I've ever done, so far. Not counting the eggs that were totally clear, I set 30 eggs, and 25 of them hatched. The 5 that didn't hatch were all mine.
 
Cute chicks but like MP said, they are very difficult to get started.It seems they are more prone to rough PO handling than other egg's.I have set 40 egg's from 3 different people and I have one blue roo about 9 months old and two chicks born Christmas that are splash and blue.
 
They look great. I still get excited everytime eggs are going to hatch and I have hatched a lot times every year.
 
Here is my BBS Orp brood from Tuffoldhen that hatched Valentines Day into today:
