A Miracle!

[CoraxAurata]

total now stands at 16 fluffies! unlikely to be anymore - 4 sad very still looking eggs left in the incubator will give them 'til tomorrow just to be sure but 16 is very impressive! keep standing in the back kitchen (sort of a utility room) with the lid lifted just enough to watch them OH has to come looking for me every half hour - at least he knows where to find me <g> the saddest thing of all is I'm going to miss most of their growing up as I have to go away for a while and leave them in OH's hands.... ::

Looking good Corax! I fancied Dorkings but the eggs I went after hit a ridiculous price and I had already bought some others so couldn't wait.

I WILL have some dorkings though...........eventually!

...and what do they look like today????

( 16????- brill!)

[di]

16 out of 20 sounds pretty damned good to me....and 16 little cuties at that!!!

BTW...think Nicos wants more pics!!!

[Nicos]

BTW...think Nicos wants more pics!!!

OH YES!!!!!!!!!

(Problem for me is that mine are hidden under their mum's wings most of the time- so I can't sit and play with them for hours!)

[CoraxAurata]

More piccies......

i think i am in love with the one in the middle

[Nicos]

They look bigger than mine!!!- I weighed mine which hatched yesterday and it is 23g..out of interest- what do yours weigh???

They are really interesting colours aren't they???

I think you should enter the middle photo into a competition!!!!

[CoraxAurata]

well I weighed two of mine - but my scales aren't digital and the results were way out (apparently one weighs 45g!) it doesn't, it definately doesn't come close to the large size packet of baccy.... the Dorkings are acutally tiny, and the marans are the largest - ironic as they will be the smallest as adults one of the dorkings (by the way of the 6 looks like (fingers crossed) 2 boys and four girls!!!!! ) boys is a tad weak, so is getting extra tlc and a personal feeding service, the two hooligans are yelling at me 'cos they feel neglected for all these little peeps - its not true!

I was chuffed how that little one in the middle pic came out ::blushes::

Am a very proud mum!

[Birdie Wife]

I've got a couple of Dorkings, they are big mammas! Very placid, laid back characters. The chicks are lovely with that egyptian eyeliner and I think those ones are female too so double and a yay!

[CoraxAurata]

a girl and a boy I think.......

Awww that has made me feel all warm and nice inside! A Miracle indeed! Nice one, all life is a wonder to behold; this is just the icing on the cake for you after the haphazard start!

BEAUTIFUL pics more please as they grow!

love to you and the babies!

How brilliant for you after that worry. I reallywant to hatch some this year but OH already thinks I'm barking as it is!! (would an incubator on the wedding list be cheeky?)

Like lynda, I too fell in love with middle chick, thats such a cracking picture.
