    Thanksgiving Hatchalong

    Will see how it goes, I am impressed so far with her, the true test will come when she's introduced to the flock and starts free ranging with them. tight now she is being assertive enough that the pullet 3 weeks older doesn't pick on her without the little roo that hatched with her.

    GL southern, just doing what I can for the 2 that were still alive trying not to stress to bad egg yolk on one that is out is about absorbed now, but seems real weak, or maybe it's just exhausted and taking a nap as she's breathing albeit shallow ,while it finishes, crosses fingers
