Today's highlight for me was watching my hubby chase one of our roosters. He got on the scales with them and then without. The two roos are 31 weeks and weighed in at 6.7 lbs and 7.2 lbs. 💛
Thanks for sharing this. I need to get a scale of some sort to weigh my birds. The boys are huge compared to my other birds. Do you have a recommendation on the best way to weigh them?
Today is hatch day! I have 21 eggs on lockdown. When I checked this morning there was no water in the incubator. I put water in without opening it. No action yet.
This hatch a long was a great learning experience for me. I did have 6 eggs at different stages of development that didn't hatch. 😢 I'm pretty sure it was a temperature issue. I think I have it worked out so I put 24 eggs in on the 15th. I can see development in all except 5. A couple of them...
I've had 2 hatch and 6 more to go. I did the float test and all eggs are viable. I could hear scratching and pecking in 2 of them yesterday. Temperature has been low I think but have been working on getting it warmer.
We watched the second chick hatch out last night and it was amazing! My boys got to watch.💛
6 more eggs. I'll probably check them today when I take the babies out.
