Welcome!!!! @BusyBearMamaHi! I've got 2 incubators running and 3 hatches scheduled for the coming week and a half! First hatch has 22 eggs, going to post photos one egg has a weird air cell, should I worry? Im taking them off the turners tomorrow night and getting this lockdown deal goingwill be this years first hatch and our first hatch with our own eggs so we are all excited! Been muddy and we had an egg get smashed in the breeding coop so I've not been saving so many eggs for the next incubation. I will hatch in the one incubator, clean it out and put the next few eggs in lockdown in there and then clean that out again after that hatch and then the other incubator goes into lock down and the first one will get 42 eggs - I have 24 ready already and about 8 days till I should load it up and with 10 hens in breeding coops I've been getting 6-7 eggs a day and it's sort of touch and go on the cleanliness front, so I'm just keeping the clean ones for incubation and rotating them and what not... I figure if I get 5 good eggs a day on average for 8 days that's 40 more eggs and after I go through it and pick out the imperfect ones I will have like 50? And whatever's left can go in the next batch... Or maybe I will have a broody please universe lol. Any of you move broody hens? I'm thinking about how to go about that if one goes broody can I put her somewhere safer than the barn? How many eggs would one put under a broody?
What day is it on? I dont see anything wrong with it?wonky air cell, is the chick small or am I missing something or is the air cell just off to the side and how does this usually affect hatch. I've seen it but am not remembering... I feel like I ended up with an upside down hatcher last year and I had to preform minor egg surgery and the bird was fine but I had to open the incubator and sadly I don't believe I will do that again...
oh no I cant see in this image Im sorry!sorry the above photo was the w
Can some of you help me? I've been watching over this one Pekin egg for so long. Finally at the end and I see this!? Can you tell me if its ok? Last night he was happy and healthy in his egg today this.
Thank you all.

Some cute photos from this morning before the rain started:
Lavender ameraucana (6.5 weeks) - pretty little cuddle monkey, this one is. I think it may end up being a cockerel, but I may keep him anyway.
Here's Dotty, chronic escapee from her paddock (she drives her rooster to distraction worrying for her, poor guy). I can hear her now, "I'm too sexy for my coop..."
And finally, three crazy girls all trying to share the same nest box:

Get off my lawn
Quote: Thanks for reminding me that I have a bunch of riced cauliflower in the freezer (I put it up last time it was in season). I need to pull some out...
Quote: Yeah, me, too. It's such a relief not to have that weird wing flapping at me...
Quote: He LOVES being scratched under the chin (he's getting a cute little beard) and he just fell asleep in my arms for a little nap just now. He's earned a NAME!!!! Goodwin. (After the Goodwin Creek variety of lavender).
Well, I didn't get much done today - but I think I was tired, and also it was rainy all day and a lot of what I needed to do was outside and not easily done in the rain. But I did get a little house cleaning done (a little) in between naps, and someone came to pick up the Coop of Sadness, so that's one less thing cluttering up my yard. The EHAL crew are only 6.5 weeks old, but I'm already really needing to separate the boys and girls, as some of the boys are a little faster maturing and are both crowing and bugging the girls. (6.5 weeks!!!). Then construction needs to start on the new coop for them. It never ends...
