It's a beautiful pumpkin carving! Good job!

Just don't teach them how to be politicians, and then they shouldn't be!

Congrats! Success at last!

I have a couple other people who live closer to me that are waiting on those. One of them is another breeder of Australorps.

Well, I have a splash Australorp pullet that just started laying, too! Her eggs need to get bigger.

Well, it is the first egg that I ever tried to hatch out that was like it. The egg was a bit smaller than the other ones, but not really by much. Still, I think that 12 live ones out of 13 was pretty good for a hatch rate.

Because it never hatched, so I carefully opened up the egg to look. The chick inside had totally filled up the whole egg, and there was no more air pocket left in the egg for it to be able to breathe.

These were all out of my Splash Australorp 6 month old cockerel, and my five 1 year old Black Australorp hens. They all grew up right here.

Just an update on my group 1, and group 2 hatches on my Blue Australorp chicks: Group 1: All 4 that hatched out in that batch are active, and eating and drinking good. It was a 100% hatch rate. Group 2: 8 out of the 9 eggs hatched out. The 9th one looked like it outgrew the egg, and...

Or chicken coop mud boots?

You could use a small backup generator if you have one.

I started lock-down yesterday. Chicks are due on Monday.

I am glad that you are ok. I was wondering how the chickens on the east coast were fairing from that hurricane over there. Nice chicks!

Well, there is another thread going for the October hatch-a-long also. Maybe some have gone over to it? I haven't taken any pictures of mine, but I candled my Group #2 again last night. Of those 10 eggs, 9 of them showed beginning life in them. I tossed out the 10th egg, as it still looked...

Good luck with your hatch! I have my incubator in a spare bedroom that we use for storage. So, when mine are ready to hatch, I can keep the light on all night if I have to.

Time to buy another incubator to keep up with all them eggs?

My 4 eggs from group #1- are now filling almost 3/4 of the egg now, and I can still see movement in there when I candle them. My 10 eggs from group #2- I am still not seeing anything interesting in them yet.

It looks like those little basket things work well in the incubator. I bet it keeps the inside of the incubator cleaner. I think I will try that when it's time to take mine out of the turner. I have 3 of those basket things.

Yes, in the first posting on the first page of this thread it said to have either eggs under a hen or in an incubator anytime during the month of October.

The veins are a very good sign! Good luck!
