I was thinking it might be related to Betty (dam mossy pullets) being from hatchery and not knowing her genetics. I do have quite a few more screenshots I saved from that conversation between @Chooks man and @Punkybrewster related to the mossy pullets. Still researching it......

Yep... still stressing.

I just got eggs shipped from Montana to Michigan. 1,442 miles. Shipped Priority Monday May 20- Eta of May 23. They arrived May 22. I know not southeast but maybe there's hope somewhere in that.. 🙂

I couldn't find a hatchery that sells them, but I did a Google and these came up... Hope it helps...

It's eerie how similar my situation is...my incubator is iffy at best and still trying to get it dialed in. 0/22 first hatch, 8/22 second hatch. I've got 2 broodys sitting on eggs and then decided my life wasn't chaotic enough so I purchased 12 more shipped. Well, wouldn't you know, another hen...

Absolutely...👍

Chasing your toddler? I'd consider removing her from the flock...permanently.

Glad you were able to be there in time. Wind is super heavy today also and storms forecasted. I'm trying to get Raven in her own space now that she's broody committed (3 now 🙂). Down to 2 nest boxes...

I changed out leg bands yesterday and was meaning to take individual pics of all 8, but thunderstorms rolling in put a halt to that and had to put everyone on lockdown. Will try today......

Trying to catch which boy is crowing. But only got Kong....🤣

A short video I took trying to capture which little man is crowing but all I got was Kong announcing his presence. 🙂

Ok thanks.. will do. More stress...because I needed more to stress about.

That's awesome... I hope it goes that well for me. Very cool pic. ♥️

Looks like a cockerel to me. 🙂

This ... 👆 Here's a couple pics just to give you an idea. There's 2 broodys/2 nest boxes. I have them situated the way they are to catch a fan. But both areas are interconnected at the L so they can possibly intermingle after hatch, but if not I can move either nest box to block that off if the...

They do look alike...

Yes, I like that idea. 👍

This...I really like that idea, thank you. I can test both the incubator and Raven to see how she does. I've never done this, so this will be new. I'll read up on it more tho just to try and get the timing right. From what I have read...just slip them in after dark and monitor Raven for a bit...

I've got 2 broodys been sitting since the 9th-10th, due next weekend and another just went broody....giving her 1 more day to make sure she's committed and that will be a June hatch. Chicks everywhere....🤣
