Since you settled on Humprey the Wonderchicken, I'll go ahead and make Mailbox my choice. The folks in chat seemed to like it as much as I do.

'Hope' is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune, without the words, and never stops--at all.

As far as baby daddies go, in addition to Cam pictured earlier, we also have Bloop the MilleFleur Belgian d'Uccle rooster (a bantam, and likely the father of the banty egg):





And Weedcat, the splash Giant Cochin rooster:

Way ahead of ya. The kid is planning a LEGO chick playground. Also some chick-scale Godzilla movie rampagable tiny cardboard buildings, once they get a bit older and they learn what mealworms are.

We had a Scrambles, sorry.

The fact that Bloop is so beautiful is why he hasn't been turned into fried chicken (yet). He's been such a naughty, spoiled rooster! But it gives Head Rooster Weedcat something to do. Kicking Bloop's butt is a high priority on Weedcat's hourly "to do" list.

Name one of the chicks Mighty Cluck.

Why do baby chicks peck at each other when they hatch anyways?

Besides the fact that it's an rear end in a top hat thing to do and it's FUN to bitchslap your siblings? Actually it's just instinct, baby chicks instinctively peck and in so doing learn what is food/water, they need no mama to show them. Lots of people who raise turkeys will put a few baby chickens in with the turkey poults so they can teach the damned dumb turkeys where the food and water is.

I can't remember all the names of past chickens, but I think it'd be cool to have one named Chanticleer. Yeah, I watched Rock a Doodle recently, so what?

edit: would be happy with Pato too.

This is the view of the entire incubator, with the next two hatches in the upper rack.



Today's hatch is on the bottom. I still need to open the incubator 5 times a day to get good air in and bad air out, and turn the eggs on the upper rack. On the upper rack, the army-green eggs are Bear's, the light blue ones are Americaunas eggs from either Rose or Bug. The 4 brown eggs are mystery mama eggs.

It's going to be a bit on #10 yet, the hole you see is all she has done right now. She needs to unzip her shell at least halfway before she can come out.

When the chicks DO come out, I'm betting that just like last year, they will RUN for the back of the incubator to the fan--it runs all the time and they have learned to associate that noise with 'mama'. That's another reason for us talking to them before they hatch, so they learn that WE are mama, as well. They forget about the fan after a couple of hours anyway.


EDIT: I lied, the clever girl pipped the bottom of her shell first then worked her way up the back, she's about 3/4 of the way unzipped and should be out in about 20 minutes!
