Peep Peep!

17 years ago

We have chicks hatching! Fat little balls of fluff :) We have 50 eggs in the incubator which is sitting on a stool over in my sewing corner in the living room. I've been hearing one of the chicks peeping for two days now but it didn't break out of it's shell until later this evening. It's a little, spotted, mostly black chick! We have all sorts of crazy colored chickens this year and the Ugliest black and white Rooster you've ever laid eyes on. He has NO TAIL FEATHERS! The rest should start hatching tomorrow, their due date. I need to go get some chick starter mash! By tomorrow night I'll be so crazy from listening to peeping chicks I'll want to pull my hair out, LOL!

I don't suppose those chicks are sexed. Will you keep the roosters? We bought day old chicks once but half turned out to roosters that my husband had to 'get rid of'.

I will take some pictures when they are all done hatching. They have been hatching for two days. We'll give it a couple more days and see how many more we get. So far the neighbors white eggs are ahead of our brown and green eggs. His are all yellow chicks and ours are all weird mixed colors with some crazy markings!

I saw the ugly rooster limping across the yard today. I bet he has a sand bur stuck in one of his toes. I'd remove it for him but I don't think he'd let me get near him with a pair of tweezers. He might be hard to get a pic of. He generally hangs out under the boats or the tractors where it's damp and the bugs are plentiful. But I'll try, I just have to remember to take my camera out with me when I go to the garden.

I keep checking this thread, hoping for pix. Hope they're not driving you crazy, Memo.

When I was a mere slip of a lass, we ordered 50 eggs, 53 hatched. Half of them boys (evidently there's a process called candling, but I'm not going to guess what they look for in this family-friendly forum ;-)
