After what seemed like FOREVER, 3 little chickies have made their way into the world over the weekend.
Mum is a first timer and doing great, dad is a seasoned hand at this and seems to be quite proud after a few years being child free.
Here are the babies...

Congrats! They're beautiful!

Ellie.

Thanks everyone.

Still a few more hens on eggs yet so hoping for a few bubbies this year.
I even have one first timer hen (sister to the mum of these bubs) who has no partner yet she has laid eggs.

Jasper (lutino IRN) has finally had a successful clutch of chicks. First 2 hatched yesterday (11 Sept) and the 3rd today. 2 have red eyes and if all is correct with the genetics I was told the male was, the 2 red eyes should be male pallidinos.



And my first hold of chickie #3

congradssssssssss

Thank you muchly.

Here are updated pics of the babies.

2008 green IRN hens first clutch...aprox 10-12 days old.

They're so cute, and TINY....Congratulations and best wishes on MANY healthy babies.

They are looking good.

When do you pair them up and put the nest boxes in?

Thanks Shirleybird and Rod038.

I leave the nestboxes in & the pairs together all year round. I find sometimes in the middle of summer a couple of the ringies use the nests during the day, maybe to escape the heat?

Updated pics of the ringie bubs....taken out today for handraising, 17 & 14-15 days old.
First feed went very well.

Bubs have grown up and most are now flying madly around the house. They will be going to their new homes in a few short weeks....sigh...

First a few 'catchup' pics....











And taken today...

Hi Pinkdevil! They are absolutely gorgeous!!! How old are they on the photo were they are all sitting around the bowl eating?

Thanks!
Aprox 5-6 weeks of age. There is just over a weeks age difference between the first and last hatched chick.

hahahaha, yeah, well almost complete. Then they go off to their new homes...*sniff* :/

(u just reminded me of my budgie. it can imitate a sniffing sound i make when i cry. and when i DO cry, it happily mimics me)
(its kinda anoying... to be mocked like that... but i still find myself smiling inspite of it all...)

heres a quotation espacially for u:

""dont cry because its over,
but smile because it happened!""

i hope your kids find wonderfull homes! (i wish i could get one... if only i could teleport...)
(u dont happen to ship them feather-packets-of-joy do u?)

gorgeous

Nice babies my friend take care of them.

hahaha evaleen. Most have gone to their new homes now, still have a couple looking for homes since the people who asked me about them never contacted me back.

Thanks sheena and Dan.

I did end up keeping one though ...the pallid hen, her name is 'Lacey'. I just couldn't part with her and when Shane said she is very pretty, why not keep her then, I just couldn't let that opportunity pass by.

Here is my newest member to the household, Lacey.

Lacey looks identical to my green lace Peri
