Congrats!!! I know how you feel, just sent in payment for some Dorkies I won the bid on this weekend also. Getting 8 eggs. Can hardly wait to get them in the 'bator. I just hope they all hatch out well and healthy!!

I'll have to get some pics in the next day or two. They are SO VERY cute! And one is ONRY! I'm assuming it's a HE...He will run at me & peck/kick my hand when I try to fill their feeder! The last one, just never developed. I left it in there for another four days after the others hatched & then it started to ooze out brown, SUPER smelly stuff.
I then took it outside, way out in the pasture & smashed it. And ran, LOL It was ROTTEN! LOL Nothing in it but a rotten stinky mess....but I'm fine with four chicks....BOTH of my bators are now full....I'm now trying to figure out where to put my faverolle eggs when they arrive! The only "good thing" is that my Sebbie egg is due in a couple of days and my two remaining Muscovy eggs are due this weekend...so that will free up my "high humidity" bator.
Yep you got that right. They are really awsome and they are of decent quality though they've never been shown or anything. The do have broody blood in them, most of my hens have gone broody at one time or another.
