So great everyone! Thanks for playing!

My birds are doing well. I placed an order of chicks for May. Different colors from all I hatched recently.

I have noticed digital shows dryer than it is.

I thought I would check in on all the hatch-a-long-ers, I am reading what you have going on. My birds are doing well. I have some older birds combined. I rehomed 3 females. My boy chicks I hatched are so friendly even though i don't spend much time with them. 3 weeks old. Some times you cannot...

The last chick is part AC and has an almost purple beak, I am going to call her Mauve.

The yellow chick above #5 hatched late on Jan. 11 Below is all 5.

Looks like the next gray egg will also be a yellow splash, (#5) I am waiting for her to kick off the shell. The other 2, one pipped but died in egg, (looked like a yellow chick.) and one quit before pipping. 5 will be this hatch.

I counted all the babies hatched since Nov. 30. 40 babies. Not counting the 3 unhatched.

Here are the 4. of the 3 left...2 pips and one not doing anything. The last 3 were either store fridge eggs, or just the tail end of the fertile eggs since the rooster was put down.

#4 chick is out, I am going to call this one "Commando". When I went to take a picture, he commando rolled towards the camera.

Here is the splash chick Here is the current group...

This is my last hatch with that rooster, I am so glad I have the little splash, she is getting more splashy, here is her mom. I like how splashes are l like dalmations and how the spots keep coming, but they are born white. or in her case yellow.

One more pip. The chick who hatched is watching over the eggs that are pip/zip.

The NN egg hatched first, day 20 still , the chick doesn't look to be NN though. The dark egg upper left hand corner is starting to zip. Some of the gray eggs are from my hens. there may be some from a grocery store fridge eggs from a near by farm I don't recall which but fridge eggs will take...

I am about to pop looking at the ducks!

Second pip still day 20 blue copper maran egg

Day 20 and one pip. the NN egg.

This is actually a fish string-er. I got the idea from a lady in ID who sells eggs, it keeps the chicks from playing soccer ball with the eggs. These are on day 19, (maybe 18) no action yet.

I put my eggs in lockdown day 17. Down to 7 with this batch. I had to pull one of the store eggs. I think I have 2 store ones left. 5 from my hen's eggs.
