WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? WHAT DID YOU JUST RECEIVE?

I am very excited to announce the arrival of our first LF blue baby chick just hatched this morning!
A proud mommy hen with her first hatch from her first brood.

I'm waiting for 15 Magpie ducklings due at my house on March 17th!!!!! St. Pattie's day - I must have some good names!

Dad's order of Ideal chicks came in yesterday...5 guineas, 5 ducklings, and NINETY chicks! (75 bantam special, 15 assorted longtail males which were phoenix and sumatra)

unfortunately 5 were already DOA and several more died soon after The sumatras especially were all sickly on arrival so we're getting compensation from Ideal for our losses. The guineas and ducklings were all extremely healthy but 4 of them were smothered by chicks under the brooder lamps overnight ! Now there is only one lonely duckling. We separated the birds into 2 smaller groups in separate tubs so this won't happen again.

It's a very nice variety of bantams, although there are a LOT of white silkies. So many pretty babies! I especially love those spotted topknots like the one there by the duck

Mine will have roughly 500 chicks and hopefully some Pheasants in a few weeks.

Our feed store has lots of cute chicks and has had them for about 3 weeks. I keep reminding myself that I already ordered 25 and cannot take any more at this time. I currently have 20 hens, 9 young chicks about 3 and 4 months old and 3 roosters. Our feed store also has ducks in already. I always have to look them all over.

I am waiting for the last 2 viable Cream Brabanter eggs in my incubator to hatch on/about Feb. 25. I am also waiting on 19 assorted chicks from Ideal scheduled to be shipped March 9 (?). I am also waiting for hatching eggs, Sulmtaler roo over Cream Legbar hens AND Cream Brabanter (6) and Dominique (6) hatching eggs to arrive on Tues. and Wed. this week. I will incubate them with the last 2 eggs from my Buff Brahama bantam, Miss Bavis, that we lost to a dog attack yesterday. The Buff Braham's eggs will be from a Blue Silkie roo.....but hopefully, we will get a baby chick to remind us of Miss Bavis. I also have 9 EEs hatched from blue eggs that will need new homes very very soon as well as 3 barnyard mixes that will probably go as well. I think the BY mixes are all roos. They were our first hatch.
