Because of spring ticks which atarted this year VERY early because of the warm weather so pon impulse i bought 8 baby chicks  from Family Center and Buckeits

  Then after finding Backyardchickens websaite igto intersted in a incubator when i saw Lavender orpingtons and no place in Mo to buy them,..so decided to hatch my own
. After 2 trys with no chicks i bought 50 eggs of different kinds and did get some Blue Black Splash part English  Orpington ..only got one...
He was born at Midnight so i called him Midnight and he is black  like Midnight!
 Then a few days later hatched out 5 Lavender Orps, 2 Buff Brahmas, 1 Barred Rock, and then 5 more lavender orpintons.I had  13 ppl  on Craigs waiting to buy these  since the April and finally in Jume? or July  finally got these.Sold 3 of the first hatch. Kept the second hatch of them Got a roo fro mthe first hitach to breed with the second. I call Sterling and 5 pullets for him
