bouldercroft Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Awwwwww very cute - this is making me feel broody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola O Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Lovely pics . Can I ask how old they were before mum brought them out?? The last of Lily's eggs hatched yesterday, and as it's mine (and Lily's) first hatching I was just wondering how long before they venture out.

sparkysmum Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi Nicola I think Peke stayed in the nest area for about 36hrs after we put the chicks under her.What are you hatching It really is the loveliest time in the world We are enjoying every minute & I know you will too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickichicky Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 How cute!! She looks so proud I hatched out 10 in an incubator and it's been a faboulous experience! They are 10 weeks old now. But seeing this it has made me miss seeing a mum with babies - mine only had me. I'm keeping one boy, so maybe next year I'll have a broody to do what you have done. Did she hatch eggs or were they day olds you put under her? Well done anyway - and lovely pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi vickichicki & thanks They were day olds/ two day olds & all vaccinated. Alli xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickichicky Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi vickichicki & thanks They were day olds/ two day olds & all vaccinated. Alli xx How lovely! What breeds are they? The 'brown' one looks just like my speckled Sussex chicks did! (I've got 4 x Branvelder 3 x Speckled Sussex 2 x Lav Araucana & 1 x Lemon Pyle Brahma) (with only 3 of them being boys) My Speckled Sussex at 2 days old!

Nicola O Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi Nicola I think Peke stayed in the nest area for about 36hrs after we put the chicks under her.What are you hatching It really is the loveliest time in the world We are enjoying every minute & I know you will too I've come in from work to find Lily out in the run with all her babies. I brought the food a water pots outside with them and the babies piled in - I don't think Lily could have taken them back in once they were out. They've filled up on chick crumb and are now tucked under mum for a snooze. I just sat on the ground and watched them for the last half an hour - they are so lovely I could sit there for hours. What am I hatching? Not actually sure as the eggs were given to me from a nice guy I met on freecycle and I forgot to ask what they were. I emailed him last night to tell him how we got on and to send piccies and I asked then, but he just replied with 'congratulations' and didn't answer my question. I'll have to keep posting pictures as they grow and we can all play a 'guess the breed' game as well as 'guess the sex' game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola O Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 And just where are your photos Nicola Didn't want to put them an your thread where we are talking about your gorgeous chicks. My photo's are in the 'hatching' section - my thread is 'so excited - they are all hatched'. The piccies are on page 4. Will take some more now they are out with mum and put them on later .
