I had 9 of the large Wheaten Ameraucana chicks hatch so far... only 8 are alive right now.
Kat sent me 14 eggs. So not a bad hatch so far.
Maran hen kept loosing track of the chicks, so I just brought them into the house.
Not that I really have room with all the bantams, brooding in the house already...
Really did not want to take a chance loosing any more.
The SS hen, still has some eggs under her, and if more chicks hatch, will bring them into the house too.
Maybe when I am better set up, will try to have the broody hens raise them.
They are as big as the bantams that hatched in May, so they should do ok.
Have them in their own little box for a couple of days, then I will move them in with the bantams
These will be Blue egg layers when the grow up.
