Wanted to say HAPPY EASTER to everyone!!!

Also wanted to share some chick outlines taken from the outside of my small, in the house brooder, a recycled cow protein tub. I thought maybe CR could find some new metal chick shapes from my outlines. They are so active that it is hard to catch them holding still!

I'd been sitting down and cutting cage wire, so when I came out to put the Hamburg's second-favorite treat food (after red worms) in their run I sat in the open door to take photos. Elvis is still gorgeous, and gets shorted on treats because he'd rather show off than eat.
I'm getting about 18 eggs a week from the three hens in this pen; I really want to have another pen going, with at least four hens. Hamburgs have a reputation for being flighty and stand-offish, but I think it comes down to them needing more room and cover than some breeds.

They sure are pretty

Guess what I got yesterday! Two white broad brested turkeys (now 6 days old), 6 buff orpington (now 6 days old), and three now 2 day old mystery chicks from the enumclaw auction.



Has anyone ever bought "fertilized eggs" from the auction before and had them hatch? From what I've read about having eggs incubating and knowing they sit out for as long as they do during those auctions, I don't see how any of them could hatch. I wasn't expecting the chicks I got to last through the night because they were day olds yesterday but they perked right up and are actually the loudest of the whole bunch.

Imp and Zgoatlady, thanks; the Hamburgs are as sweet as they are pretty.

I'm up early (for me, please remember I didn't get dinner until 9pm last night and not for reasons of being all fashionable and sophisticated: that's when we got home from grocery shopping after working hard all day) and about to go get a shower and so on to go to church and then home for a quick bit of cooking before we run off to the familyEaster feast.
