daxigirl Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yesterday Dolly Doolittle became a mama. Bearing in mind she's a giant Orpington and the chicks are Japanese they're not even as big as her head! Thought they'd all be yellow for some reason but there's all sorts of colours going on should be mottled when grown. Didn't think it was going to happen as I've been discarding eggs as the days have gone on and topping them up from the incubator ( got carried away at the farmers market and bought 18 and added a couple of Sushi's girls just to see if he's a Jaffa or not). So worked it down to 11. But so far there's 8. Can't wait to get a good look. She's been so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxigirl Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 So she's ended up with 10 multicoloured tiny chicks. The 11th made it out of the shell but no further. Took a picture but still hopeless at putting it on here. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxigirl Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Alas one got squashed overnight so she's down to 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
