Day 19 on the eggs in the incubator. I candled all of them last night and they are all going strong!!! My roosters have really been taking their job seriously. Excited to see my Olive Egger creations start emerging in the next couple days. I love hatching day!

The momma Kinder had babies this morning and she had 1 doe and 1 buck.....so........I get the doeling!!! She is sooooooooooooooooo cute! Oh and I might of bought a registered nigerian dwarf doe for my buck to have a girlfriend his own size.

I have 2 chicks out of their shells and lots of others starting their way out! No matter how many time I have watched them hatch, it is still so amazing to watch a chick fight it's way out of a shell. The first 2 are Olive eggers! I have a Black Copper Marans roo over my Wheaten Ameraucanas, when you cross a chocolate brown egg layer with a green egg layer you get dark olive green egg layers! I will try to find a picture of the egg colors. It is supposed to be 80 degrees today and I plan on being outside all day! Of course I will have to take a few breaks to press my nose against the incubator window and check on the hatch!

Here is the variety of colors I am greeted with every time I get the eggs!


See the olive green one, that is the kind I am going for in this hatch.

I get a similar variety of colors daily too. I love having such a colorful collection basket.

Can't wait to see pics of your newest chicks!

Sort of like an Easter Egg Basket. Now if you could get one that lays purple eggs...

That's funny because B and I were talking about egg colors yesterday and he asked me what kind of chicken laid purple eggs cause he wanted to have all the colors in the basket! LOL!

I have one hen that lays an almost pink egg, now getting purple would be cool!!
