Just sittin here waiting for someone to come out and see me....
Waiting for company....
Oh, look at that little baby thing! I want one! (Yeah, I know -- ONE! Right.)
That's a Dutch Bantam.. The Barnevelders are still hiding.. one is peeking out though!
In fact, send some positive vibes for your 3 Barnevelder pullets Brigid!!! LOL Surely there are 3 Barnevelder pullets in there somewhere!!
I better shut up.. they aren't mine!

Awww, they are so sweet!!! I just love it when they are all sprawled out sucking up the heat!!! Congrats!!! They are so cute!!!
ZZ, very cute, but you are suffering from a serious scarcity of chicks (don't tell Brigidlily, she will have a fit). You need at least 20 to have a decent showing. Please remedy this situation.
CPO Mox
She's working on it:0)
Excellent (rubbing hands with glee)
I'm 1/2 way there..
Tomorrow, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday will help me catch up. :)
boo boo babiez.. lil wut wut poo pooz... wut wut.. awwww
Checking in for update!!! ZZ, how is the hatch??? SACID reporting with all goggles and hatch dance in hand. 20!!! I fell short of that by 11. But thats okay...sigh. DH still thinks I have enough. hehehe wittle do he know.... (rubbing hands with plotting and planning gleem in eyes)
CPO Moxon checking in after spending much time talking to lil' wut wut boo boo babiez in the basement. They are all sending fluffy love.
I didn't even have 20 ready to hatch.. Only 18.. :) She got 6 Dutch Bantams and 4 Barnevelders.. Only 10 out of 18.. So I opened the ones that didn't hatch.
4 of were very, very under developed.. (I lost 14 eggs in my Hova bator about a week ago.. I put what was moving in the other bator.. but I guess they didn't make it)
2 Didn't absorb the yolk sack.. and 2 were okay, but just didn't hatch.
It is hard to have a hatch with low numbers..
Keep your fingers crossed for me.. I have others to go in.. :)
{{crossing}}
Crossing eyes, fingers, toes, legs... Sending out hatching vibes of the highest caliber. I do wish you the best. I am sorry so many did not make it. It is always so sad to hear. We will believe for a really good hatch for these eggs!!! {{HUGS}}
It's a girl! ZZ hatched a Barnevelder pullet!
Where are you, ZZ? Anymore pips?
It's a girl! It's a girl! Woot woot woot! I've got my pink pom poms out for a cheer!
Our First baby from our Barnevelder Pair.. Beaureguard and Molly..

Lil Sister just popped out! Two for Two on the pullets board.. Oh yeah! I'm so jazzed.. big fat lil things!
Must've been my pink pom poms. Now if you could get those chicks rooting for a little doeling goat from Stuffin...
Goooooo PINK!!! Pom poms pink!!!! Babies love it!!!
CONGRATS!!! ZZ I am happy for you! ;)
I wanna call the second one Patso.. I used to call my DD Fatso Patso when I grabbed the "fat pillows" on her legs when she was a baby..
After it warms up.. I'll get a belly shot.. What a lil Chunk! LOL
We dont want her to be self conscious about her weight now. With all the kids gorwing up with the unrealistic body image issues. hehehe Patso it is!! ;)
Both her parents are BIG birds--in the voluptuous late Victorian/Edwardian sense of the word. Think Lily Langtry and Teddy Roosevelt. Fine figures of chickendom:0)
No Barbies here!
hehehe Here either. I like voluptuous...in the sense, I really like food and do not subject myself to torturous deprival.
{{My gal's a corker. She's a New Yorker. I buy her everything to keep her in style. She's got a pair of hips just like two battleships. Yeah boys that's where my money goooooooooes!!}}
wooohooo! They wrote a song about me!!!!! awwww how nice!!! Why do I not see the money? hmmmmmm...
Born about 80 years too late would be my guess...
Awww man, I am late for everything!!! sheshhhhh!
Possibly Mom wouldn't have considered rushing quite that much anyway...
