Mother's day hatch-a-long

[gimmie birdies]

Anyone hatching on Mother's day? I have eggs due the day after, but I will probably get a few right on mother's day.

From local store fridges, but all the farms are near by. They probably wash. I have hatched these before.

I'm just about to set some right now, due to hatch ~May 15 and all but 10 are from local roadside stands. The other 10 are barnyard mix of large breeds that I had shipped a state away.

I hope your hatch goes well!

I set 12 Silverudd Blue along with 1 Araucana on 4/23 expect them around 5/14. Like I need to add to the 64 chicks we have in 4 brooders already….Yes Crazy Chicken Lady!

I did not expect them to hatch on mother's day, I was thinking the 13th. But 1 is out and the one to the far right is zipping

The yellow chick is from a blue egg.

First 4

Below 3 more hatched, 3 are zipping.

I like your colors!

I like my own hens eggs the most, but I don't have a rooster on them. The eggs I set have good colors, I have found the tan, and the blue eggs will sometimes have the blue feathered chickens.

The dark eggs have black chicks, BCM.

I have eggs set to hatch May 10th!

Silkies, Easter eggers, and barnyard mixes!
