These are my 3 Rhode Island Reds,
they all hatched perfectly and were growing fast so I found them a happy home on a farm.
I am mainly interested in the quail,
but it is really fun to hatch the chickens, I have 2 that I am keeping until they feather out. The runt rhode island
red that hatched on its own and a barred rock that was upside down in the egg, (I rescued him, he couldn't get out)
He is my baby. I named them "Little Red" & "Farley".
UPDATE 3/13/04: Farley and Little Red are now 9 weeks
old and madly in love with each other, (Little Red cries just awful if she can't see Farley) they are big babies
still. In the next few days their new mom and dad will be coming to get them. They are going to go to a very nice
farm where they will be able to free range. I am so happy. They are going to a chicken resort. I will miss
them, but am glad to have mothered them. When I get their page built I will put a link here for it.

All three of my big ones |

The 4th one is a runt, so it cannot stay with these ones |
I highly recommend hatching a variety of birds, for the experience. It is a great hobbie,
I really love it.
