Hubby found the chicks today. Busted! The girls hatched 9/12 a week ago and they’ve been out of the coop free ranging for the last few day. I love watching them all together.

2 have hatched, one didn’t make it, looks like the egg got broken :(. There are lots more pips! This one looks like a cochin and it’s litre comb is already making me suspect it’s a cockerel. Time will tell!

I candled my eggs this morning when my broodys got up for food and water. We’re having a heat wave, hot & very humid and it looks like they’re going to hatch a bit early. I was expecting them Wednesday but they’ll probably start hatching tomorrow night! Still hoping hubby won’t notice the little...

10/12 fertility for the eggs I put under two broody girls, day 10. They’re doing a great job, can’t wait to see the barnyard mixes I end up with!

Hahah! It's huge, can't wait to see what comes out of that one. I have ducks as well and they are definitely louder than my chickens however, I also have 5 geese and they are louder than all the birds combined somedays!

I wasn't planning on any more hatches this year but then 2 more hens went broody. It's much easier to give them eggs than trying to break them. That makes 6 broody hens out of the 11 mature girls I had and then I had 3 broody ducks! Needless to say, my flock has grown this year!! Unfortunately...
