A full herd again!

Ivy and her sister are back together. I'm calling her Nutmeg. They are almost a matched set, hehe!

I'm impressed by how casually these girls take everything. Oh, ride in a car, new home,  blah blah blah... whatever.

Dexter is a bit annoyed at all the attention the chick is getting. So he keeps trying to slip between me and the brooder. lol.

I was using a terrible little incubator just because it was super cheap and i wanted to try it. I managed to get one of the two eggs to hatch, but it went three days over due. Chickie is currently living in an old fish tank in the kitchen with a heat lamp. It's a noisy little thing, but cute as all get out. I keep calling it a "he" but lets hope it is actually a she so we can keep it.

This is amazing, really. i want a real incubator, so I can do this right next time.
