Some of the New Arrivals

I say "some" because another chicken chick just hatched in the incubator and another is pipped but these are the new arrivals from yesterday and the day before. This is an Easter egger chick and two Welsh Harlequin ducklings.




I really love ducklings! 

Easter Egger chick will just be a layer. In case anyone doesn't know, they usually lay green or blue eggs. The ducks will likely be just for eggs too unless I breed a lot then the future generations may end up on the table.

    The chick looks as if it is lecturing to the ducklings (or perhaps singing?)

    What hatcheries call Easter Eggers, Ameraucana an Araucana chickens all lay blue or green eggs (some easter eggers may lay pink ones)
