Thanks! I thought for sure she'd end up being a rooster because that is usually how it goes with a favorite. :D

They hatched out when I wasn't here. :D

Got a pip today. :)

Meet Q.T.Pie. :D Her line is: Roo: EE Bantam hen x Cochin Bantam Roo, crossed with: Hen: Buff laced polish Roo x Black Tailed Buff Japanese Bantam D'Uccles are awesome, both roosters I'd had were very sweet, and so very cute. :) The hen I had was kind of crazy, named her Sugar Spaz.

Hmmm... maybe cross with some d'Uccle....? Or cochin, or brahma...d'Uccle have cute beards too, though. :)

Cool! :D I'm looking forward to it, hopefully it'll be a pullet. :)

Locked down my official hatch today, since there are bantam eggs. Did the last candle and they are still going strong. I hope they make it so that my Sicilian Buttercup (from feed store) will have buddies about her age. I got two buttercups, but there was an unforseen tragedy, and lost one. :(...

Lavender Mille: One can but dream! :D Photo: Sure, here is the little Pipsqueak:

!!! Those are adorable! Lavender Mille fleur, I've never heard of them, but I must look them up now. Your fawn OEGB looks a lot like one I'd picked up from CAL ranch. I researched the two hatcheries the stores around here get them from and thought it'd be a male Crele OEGB, but I wonder if it is...

Here is the best one of them all together, I routinely get pecked/attacked by Momma when I switch out dirty newspaper. Moms: four chicks Belgian d'Anver, two are Isbar/Seabright, and two are 1/2 Dutch. Daddy of all these is bantam: gold laced Cochin/d'Uccle/Dutch. Really interested to see...

Those are them. :) When I went to the feed store they were sold out in about 7 minutes, I think it was about 25 chicks. 4 went with me. They are great birds, inquisitive.

The broody hatch went from Sunday the 16th to Thursday the 21rst. That was so stressful. Lots of shenanigans to be had because I had to work. I put the eggs to hatch up on the egg turner struts (?), so that my Easter hatch could continue to turn. Then cut the bottom of a small paper bag to put...

Having a hatch this weekend, those eggs are in the incubator ( two pips right now! A day early , and their Broody Momma Nutmeg is sitting on the eggs that are for the Easter hatch. Easter hatch has a dismal viability rate, absolutely dismal. Either the roosters are not doing their job, or the...

Oh no! But it's only been, what, 8 days? They should be ok still, if delayed a bit, so glad you put them into another incubator.

I candled the incubator eggs three days in, some are duds, and wasn't sure about some, so I am going to check those again tonight. I took my broody hens eggs and put them into the incubator because it looked like the air cell was getting too big. All of hers are viable. I put some of the "are...

Oh wow, she is beautiful! I got two French blue cuckoo marans at the feed store last week, I hope at least one will be barred like yours, and not be a rooster (be a $11.99 rooster!). Unfortunately, it was a day too late for my broody to accept them, so now I have a brooder set up.

OMG, I love both those and I have none. Do you have any crosses between them? I always find the mixes so interesting.

It's such a shame they are still so hard to get. Oh my gosh, there were some at a Tractor Supply a few weeks too early for me (husband was reporting this to me). I was shocked when I saw them still there the next day, we'd gone in for something that wasn't chicks. I managed to resist, but it was...

Busy busy day yesterday! I got chicks from the feed store that I've been trying to get for 5 years (cream legbars!). They sold out in about 10 min, so I'm glad I was third in the line to get over there! I got a dark brahma too, and it's like a little fuzzy planet. And I made a deal with another...

Um, so do eggs set 2/25-29/24 count? My mom left eggs under my Extra Angry Broody (this one is pint sized, but will try to rip your hand off). By the time she told me, it was too late. When I was able to check them, there were a bunch more eggs in there, and they are in different...
