in incubator

Here is Daisey, Tweedy, and Rocky in the incubator along with some cracking eggs.

chicky!

Here is me holding Rocky just before he was put in the broodry box.

Home sweet home

This is a picture of Rocky and Tweedy when they were first put in their broodery box (cage). Up in the left corner is Rocky and in the bottom right corner is Tweedy. At this point there were around 2-3 others in the incubator waiting to dry off.

Hatching Results

Hi - so 8 of my eggs hatched ...5 males and 3 females! One of my girls, Daisey had a leg problem but now I am so happy she is up on her feet both walking and running. It is so cute cuz she also is also the only chick that literally follows me around. The 5 boys are named Rocky, Tweedy, Cruiser, Ming ming, and CJ. The 3 girls are named Tera, Peach, and of course my Daisey.
