Oh MY GAWSH.. is that cute or what!!!?? Congratulations!
Maybe a little nap while I'm drying and waiting for my 11 other incubator mates to be born.
How beautiful! I had a little Marans/Silkie cross one time.
I love the back shot! So vulnerable and sweet.
Awwwwww Franny!!!!! What a way to celebrate this special day!!!!!
Love & Huggggs to allll
Had a few new hatchlings tonight..
No idea yet what they are... mixed up eggs...
Timmy.. named after my egg hatching cheering partner (5yo grandson Tyler Michael, get it... TM=tmmy)
and the last for the evening.. Robbi
awe they r so cute!!! hey i didn't know we was hatching together that rocks!! how many babies u up to?? i got 12 so far but need to check the bator again,lol.
With these 2 I am about to add that makes 5 today, dh put 12 in the bator, 4 more are positively pipping, the other 3, I am not sure I hear anything and candling was a flop course for me.
Poor marans #2 has no name yet..
and last for now my first americauna..
she/he is drying but showing a beautiful gray sheen.. I can't wait to see..
Patty or Patrick (for patriot)
I know 1 more is on its way, but golly gee, I just have to lay down for a little while.. kids went to a concert and are on their way home so they should wake me when they get in.. then I can check on chicks...
and of course be comforted they (the real kids) are home safely. LOL
Gives me a little more than an hour.. sleep fast you guys!
omg, too cute, love love love them!! i had 44 good eggs go to hatcher. i just added again i think i'm at 20 now, rotfl. i still got about 10 more pips at least. i have no clue what to do with all these babies!! i had no orders and didn't want them to go to waste. don't mind keeping some but 44 screaming babies if they all hatch??? mike will kill me,rotfl.
Thats what I am thinking... what are you going to do??
I cannot keep up with the egg orders, so mine wil feed me or be eaten.. ooh so cruel.. I really didn't mean it that way.. haven't eaten one yet.. ;-(
ANyway.. 2 new babies this am:
3-C
they are so cute frans. that little one there has some growing to fit that leg band. :)
and 1-E
This one had real interesting color even though it's still wet..
dak on the topside, yellow belly, yellow wing tips.. I can't wait to see what it's ends up looking like.
And to correct myself, there was 13 eggs in the inc.. 7 hatched with 6 to go.. they should hatch today..
that is interesting colors for sure.
Congrats Fran! I see you are taking to this chicken thing really well. :)
ahh Badseed.. you ol watchdog.. still keepin a wing over me ehh?
I have found my nitch.. I love the farm life.. I should not have tippy-toed in... I am truly thriving!
Heres to next spring (_)3
I don't always have time to post, but I do keep my eyes on you. ;)
Using the tippy toe method is very good! Taking on a little at a time gives you the opportunity to learn and give them and you the time it takes to get to know each other. I'm so glad you are enjoying it!
Congrats on the new kids Fran - they all look super! Can't wait to see some fluffy dry pics. What a great bunch!
me neither.. so much fun.. just cataloging every step..
