I don't know about everyone else, but the weather was beautiful here today. So we were outside. Trying to finish the new coop before winter.

Love the egg colors!

Who layed the speckled eggs? I want them.

That poor chick. It looks adorable though. My husband might have me committed if I start doing chick photo shoots though.

That is hilarious! And I am guessing quite a surprise to see in the incubator a week early.

Move over, I need to climb in too.

My husband doesn't usually say anything. But he did think we might have too many when he asked me how many birds we had and I couldn't answer. I knew how many was in each pen, the brooder and the incubator. But, I didn't know the total.

I am sorry about your eggs. I have never ordered eggs through the mail. However, I have never received a priority box that was so beat up. I think unmarked might be better, it looks like someone did that on purpose.

It is hard to tell exact color in pictures, but he does look actually white like mine. So hopefully that's what she is.

That would be nice. Blue splash Marans were available that week, and I would love to have one.

I did have a chick once (penguin) who was black and white but ended up all black. But even then, the "white" was yellowish. This chick is white. I am really anxious to find out what she is. I have never had a chick quite that color. I usually like mixed breeds because you never know what you are...

Sorry to hear about your losses. I was really worried about shipping losses. But they all arrived alive yesterday. We did have one die today. But I have no ideas as to what they are because they were assortments. One really has me wondering because it is white. All the white chickens I have...

Did you get a variety, or did you only end up with a couple of breeds. I was really worried I would end up with a lot of barred rocks, or another really common breed.

Meyer. They said free shipping if you ordered 25. And so I did. I did not want chicks this late in the year, but couldn't refuse "free". We ordered 15 brown layers, 10 rare breeds, and a meal maker. It looks like they did include a variety of breeds. But I don't know what they are yet. When...

Well my impulse buy of chicks are here (stupid free shipping) they were delayed. I had never ordered chicks through the mail before and since the weather has been cold, I was expecting a bunch of dead chicks. But all 26 were alive and loud. Husband has yet to comment. I guess he is used to me by...

I checked whole foods too. I might try some from the farmers market.

I wanted to do trader Joe's eggs. But the one by us didn't have fertile eggs.

She was really tired!

We have a problem with not getting eggs in the winter. I got chicks from breeds who are known for winter laying. But hatching in the winter seems like a good solution. I also like your pullet egg thing. I was always told not to hatch pullet eggs, but it seems like an easy way to hatch pullet who...

I like hatching barnyard mixes better than pure breed. I buy pure breeds, but it is so much fun not knowing what the chicks will look like when they come out.
