Utah!

Corvidae, I am so sorry about your chicks. the ones I got from you are due to hatch this weekend. I am going to be moving to Fruitland this weekend with my little goat and chickens. You will have to stop in and see me sometime. Pearl
 
Babies are done hatching. Picture overload coming up. Not in bed yet! :) The large egg, had a pip, but didn't do anything, sure enough, when I went to help, I was too late. That chick was huge. It just couldn't mover around, I really believe that. The sad part..I could tell that it hadn't been long. :(
Better news, 7 out of the 8 are healthy. Three reds, 4 buffs, but I know those EE's with the black spots on their heads are going to change in color.

OMG I LOVE those babies! You took such great pictures! That last one---so precious, big ole eyes and fat cheeks, so adorable! I am so glad I stayed up and checked back one more time. i will now go to bed and dream of little yellow EE chickies :D :D These are EE's and RIR? Tell us again, I have lost track sorry! So so so so cute.
 
Cynthia- love those baby pics! Sorry about the loss of the bigger one, that's so frusterating, but 7 out of 8 is amazing! I love the second pic of the sleeping chickie. I think Ive watched my girls sleeping almost as much as I watched my son when he was first born :) So relaxing after a rough day.

(I'm trying to cut down on how much I say "cute", since it's getting overused) Those pictures really made me smile. I love the ones where they're looking at the camera like, "And what is that?"

Oh, I have BBS hatching now..Lisa, bet you can't guess what colors most are. Yep, black. So far..haven't looked lately..but I had 4 blacks, and one blue. Actually it may be a splash, there is a lot of yellow on it. Will know in a couple of days. A couple more are pipped, only one that hasn't pipped, that I can see. Man, I need blues..that's what this guy wanted that I bought the eggs for. I told him he better want what hatches. I'm not letting him buy them all though, I have some others that want some Ameraucanas..like Red. Red, I have another batch that should be starting to pip tonight..and guess who those are from? My fav. BBS seller, cowgirl. Most of hers were blue last time, and they are puffy! In fact, the one that I posted on here is one of hers. The splash too. So, we'll see what hatches tomorrow. Go a few pages back with all the pictures.
And, I bought from someone else, more BBS, I wanted to make sure I got some blues..lol..at least I know they are sold. Of course, I may be keeping another one of my fav. seller..cowgirl..her blues are amazing. I am loving the dark blue.

Oh, they are seriously pretty birds, and the chicks I have been getting are ridiculously cute! Wonderful temperament on the parents, too. I have a bunch of chicks now (quarantined from the chicken plague, of course!) and more hatching in about 10 days? I think that long. Then there are the ones under the broody. In the fall, once they grow up, I will just keep the ones I like best and sell or cull the rest, but I think it is going to be hard choices!
Are you any good telling boys from girls? I can't have any roosters (city and HOA say so) and I don't want to get attached. :) how old are yours now? I don't really want to start with Nother day old at this point, all my ladies are out in the coop (including my youngest 2-3 weeker) and I don't want any more in the basement.
