Ok, so I did it. 12 chinnies in a carton of eggs. I had to have 3 of my kids help with the photoshoot.

ChinnieChantel-this would have been way cuter with your ebonies!;)

And are you two trying to out-do one another from opposite corners of the country?
Maybe we should have a poll on who's pictures are the best, out of 100!!
These are real good, too!!
 
That is GREAT! You should print these and offer them for sale.
 
Thats awesome! Great picture!

eta: there is ONE thing that bothers me and that is that the egg carton says 18 eggs!!!
 
Such a cute picture--i had all of my family stop what they were doing and "look at this"!
I would have wanted to help with the photoshoot! They're all adorable--one egg (i mean chin!) cuter than the next!!hehe

And not only that, but there's 19 "eggs" in the picture (12 chins + 7 eggs)...

Very cute picture!

And not to be a killjoy, but I hope that the eggs were boiled (and the carton somehow sterilized)... there's a reason we're not supposed to eat raw eggs, and most of the Salmonella is actually on the shell, not inside the egg itself - the contamination happens when the egg is cracked open. Keep a close eye on these kids for any signs of diarrhea or illness. Dunno how affected chins might be to Salmonella-induced disease, but horses can be pretty darn sensitive, and the gut is similar...
 
Just adorable! Now I am going to have to really out do myself with the ebony triplets! Haha. I feel like I am popping popcorn when I take pictures with a bunch of kits. Grab a bouncing kit- try to sneak a quick a picture, take baby off the other babies head, try to snap a picture, pick up some poop, try to snap a picture, grab the escape artist baby, and you get the point! And, I take my pictures alone, my husband usually just laughs and tells me that I am torturing them! I told him to wait until we have human babies...

RCR- where are the adorable pictures of your human babies? We know you have them!
 
Very cute. But I have to ask, how do you tell some of them apart afterwards? Some of them look just alike to me!

Haha, I know when I do it I make sure to only grab a few standards of the same sex, like a pair of female standard twins and a pair of male standard twins, and then mutations are much easier to tell apart. I also just know all my chins very well, it's a mother thing I think!
 
That makes sense. I figured there was a trick involved ;) Because to my untrained eye they look just too much alike!
