Hey y'all! I'm back after the weasel incident! HPF delivered my 86 eggs a month early so I went ahead and stuck them in the bator. I wasn't sure if they would all fit into one but they did, so now I have to put the rest of the bators back out in the shed. Set them on Sunday. My 3 thermometers...

Exactly! I've got a triple stack hutch for my breeding experiments or if I need to do tests to determine genetic background. Each hutch is 2x4'. I then have a rehabbed chicken coop that is a part of the barn with one part 10x10' (and I go in and hang out with them and listen to my podcast...

I heard one of my week old chicks crow yesterday while I was getting weights. 😐 No more hatches until fall due to vacay and hot weather. I got 21 out of 50 from this last hatch. Seems like the 25 SSCs from KC were less successful than the Tibetan Tux order. But I got enough to start. Rather not...

Seem super popular. The eggs are pretty cool! Thank you! I had my fingers crossed it would come back on quickly and ended up only being a few hours or we would have dragged out the generator. Glad it's further in the hatch than it could have been! Two more babies this morning. Not sure if I'll...

Power just went out, brooder light and bator along with it...it’s humid and in the 80s but this is bad...

That’s super sass! Very full of itself 😂

The fact that it didn’t smell and was moving made me wonder! I did find a couple other hatching posts that mentioned the yolk thing..so glad it wasn’t a rotten one!! here’s a couple more chick pics! This one already has an attitude. Probably a roo! You guys ever get ones that are extra sassy?

I checked it closer last night and it appeared to be yolk. As of this morning it had fully hatched. I didn’t remove because there was definitely a live chick moving around in it! 17 hatched now!

Five out now! More hatching. One egg seems to be leaking a sort of gross fluid that is very concerning. I don’t want to mess with it this early in the hatch so I’ll leave it for now. Here’s some fluffy chick pics from the three that have made it to the brooder! I had to cull a few from the...

Hatching day! Three out of 50 so far. One day I hope to see this “popcorn” hatching phenom I’ve heard of 😂

Probably wise to avoid pushing it into shock if possible. Not a vet, but I had a week old with a broken leg higher up and a week later I have no idea which one it even is. It resisted all attempts at taping etc, so I left it alone and it healed up fine! Hope yours does the same. At least four...

Yay, thank you! Should have some pics by Saturday, hopefully! I'm excited for my second round with KC, this time ssc and tibetan tux. My jumbos from them are thriving. By the time the next order gets in I will have three incubators going. I'd love to have chickens! Not allowed in my...

Can I join in? I have 50ish in the bator due to hatch this weekend from kc and 80ish on the way this week hopefully.
