These ones I’m not sure of?

Pulled #2 and #9, they were yolkers. #1 Lightning living up to its namesake

Rooting for you, Peachie O!! 🍑

First of the 10 remaining eggs just pipped, day 21 in the homemade incubator!

Yes perfect 😂

Beautiful eggs! Love the faces too. I’d love to adopt one and name it Napoleon.

I have a first time broody Brahma. After not leaving the nest all day/night Tuesday, I placed eggs under her Wednesday. I haven’t seen a single “broody poop” that I’ve read so much about, does this mean she hasn’t left the nest once? Is that okay? Or should I encourage her to eat and drink?

Incubator is out for delivery! Setting these eggs this evening. All available except #1

Yes absolutely! ⚡️
