Successful Hatching

We have just hatched 9 Sasso and 3 Brahma chicks in and Octagon 20 - it was our first hatch - it was so simple - just followed the instructions - some friends out here held our hands when we were tempted ti check eggs and said leave them alone - we did and now have 12 happy chicks

only 10 in this pic as the remaing 2 hatched overnight and have not been moved

I've split this off into a separate topic of its own in the Hen House James.

I have a feeling there will be a lot of Ohhhh Ahhhhh comments and I know you are going to have to keep us updated with more pictures of their progress as they grow. Coz they are Soooo gorgeous

They are SOOOOO Sweet, can't wait for one of mine to go broody so I can increase my flock

If you don't mind me asking James, how much did you have to pay for the hatching eggs ? Were they pure Sassos and where can I get hold of some ?

James is in France Bodger !

It might be a nice trip out there to go and fetch some eggs though

I paid 1.50 euros per egg = approx £1.15 per egg they are pure sasso's and the Brahma's are also pure but they were a present!!!!

AT the moment they are in the brooder and appear happy and are eating and drinking - well sheltered, if we are lucky to end up with 2 Coq's 1 goes back to the donor who lost her's a couple of weeks after giving us the eggs - Trousers just uped and did for no reason so we a fingers crossed for another handsome chap to take his place in the life of Mrs Trousers.

More pics will follow
