Brian, cute babies. I will have some that look like that then. The EE mixes are what I have too, plus, those big ol white Miss Piggy eggs are still doing well.
Anymore babies this morning?

Chase Hatchery
I have never been so displeased with a so-called business. Let’s start out with communication with these people is awful. When it comes to taking your money, they will respond to an email/text in seconds, but if you have questions/concerns or need help with a purchase, you can count on never getting a reply.
I’ve had a terrible experience with them two years in a row now. Last year, I pre-paid and pre-ordered over $100 worth of chickens from them. They sent me an email stating they would be ready at the end of April. At that time I never heard from her so I contacted her and she had no idea who I was nor remembered my order. She said my chickens weren’t available and I would have to wait another month for her next hatch. Then at the end of May she was unable to get one of my breeds so I had to pick something different and they all would hatch at the end of June. At the end of June she said end of July. At the end of July she said she was having problems with the heat and they would be ready end of August. At the end of August when she still didn’t have my chickens I paid the fee to send her a Paypal bill to get my money back and gave up on getting chickens that year.
Unfortunately this is the only hatchery claiming to sell the breeds I want so I decided to give them another try this year. Again, I pre-paid and pre-ordered my chicks and received expected hatch dates. I picked up two chicks on their hatch date and one immediately died. I tried contacting them every few minutes trying to get help saving it but they didn’t reply till days later and they did not honor their 24 hour guarantee policy. On the second hatch date I got an email stating the rest were ready. I don’t live in Salt Lake and was having a hard time making it to town that specific day so I replied asking if I could come a couple days later. I never heard back from them. I emailed them daily for many days trying to coordinate and pick-up date. When I FINALLY heard back from them it was to tell me that because I didn’t come on hatch date (which they never actually set a time for) that they sold my chickens to somebody else. They said I would have to choose a different breed which, by the way, were half the price of what I paid with no reimbursement. Not only could I buy these other, regular breeds from IFA for $3, I only wanted the rare breeds so I was not interested. I have requested a refund for the three chicks I did not receive and they are refusing to give it.
It would have been cheaper for me to order online and just pay the shipping and handling. If you’re planning to purchase from this hatchery, I would highly suggest you reconsider.

Wow thanks for that review, I was seriously thinking of ordering from her next year. I appreciate the heads up.

I just have 1 more that has been trying to hatch since last night and I'm almost positive the rest quit

  Hatching IS addictive.  I had to put away my bator almost two years ago (lots of moving for work) and I can't wait to break it out again.  Cute babies!!!

thanks it is so addicting I'm going to put more eggs in there ones this hatch is done.

If you weigh the positive and negative reviews...I think there was maybe one positive...ever....and cannot count the negative :/
Thanks for the info lookingforchick and welcome to the thread as well!

It is! Those babies are cuties. Keep the updates coming! I'm dying for more pictures.

i will be posting more pictures once my hatching is done I may have to help this one that is trying to hatch. The membrane looks really dry and isn't making progress

Did anyone see this Lavender Orpington Rooster for sale in Orem? I don't know the folks, but I thought it was a cool bird. I'm adding Wyandottes instead of Orps otherwise I might pick that guy up.
