craftyhunnypie Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Here is my newly hatched chick called BUMBLE. It is a Cobar & I think it's a girl from the colouring, if I remembered right! Gorgeous eh? Bumble is snuggled into its baby blanket, hope it gets some friends soon! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 It's an RCom 20, with 2 each of Cobar, Buff Wyandotte & Partridge Cochin. 3 are for my sister (she's marked hers ) ..But none of hers have hatched yet! It works a treat this incubator, well recommended! Just going to check on Bumble & check the incubator for more chicks! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Bumble is fine & has drank some water...&.......a Partridge Cochin is Pipped, I can see it's beak and it's trying it's best to cut round the shell with its egg tooth! Woohoo..so Bumble will soon have a friend! Now I wonder what I will call the Partridge Cochin??? Perhaps hubby will have to choose this ones name...hmm now that's worrying!!! Be back soon, I don't want to miss a hatch! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Well hubby has called the Partridge Cochin chick ' Boon'. After someone who used to serve us in the hotel in Thailand!!!! So it's Bumble & Boon!!! Think this one is also a girl! I have used an old fashioned bird sexing technique that is also used with parrots.... a lot say it's an old wives thing, but the breeder who bred my parents ' Lilly' has never been wrong yet & he's bred loads of parrots! So we shall see. Hubby already has a name for ' our' 3rd egg. Cos he says 2 out of 3 aint bad...so you can guess what is going through his mind....Meatloaf! Sister has got 2 chicks hatch so far - so she is also very happy! Boon has gone in the brooder with Bumble, Bumble was a bit bossy at first, wouldn't let Boon on the blanket. But now it's mothering Boon & picking all the shavings off it. Bless. They are now cuddled up asleep. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 sweet. what will you do with any males? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 My sister is having any males. She lives on a large farm, so any cockerels will live happily there & she will also breed with them when they are old enough. So no worries there - they will all have lovely happy little lives. Bless them. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 that's good, I'd only hatch my own if I could do something like that, I'm too squeamish to kill something so cute and ickle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 I know, they are truly beautiful! I wouldn't hatch anything that couldn't have a nice caring home, it just wouldn't be fair. Even if I do have any males, at least I will be able to go & visit them & see them wandering on the farm. Bumble has hogged the blanket & Boon is snuggled into a teddy bear. Left them to go sleep now. I'll post a picture of Boon in the morning when I've uploaded to photobucket & resized. Fingers crossed for another lickle cutie chick!
