Surviving Minnesota!

Ok I went through and found two cracked eggs and removed all my CLB/Dom eggs as they never start anyways. Then I removed a few OE eggs and left all purebred eggs and six EE as some of te eggs were too nice to eat...

PS don’t mind the duck eggs by the tray... They are strictly for eating... I hate hatching Dux as they take too long and I’m impatient...

That is wayyyyyy to many Buckeye Eggs and what is with the ? egg? Giggle Giggle. We had one of those last batch and it turned out to be a Buff Orp.

I am done hatching for the season unless someone (father in law or Uncle) ask for some replacement EE or plain old run of the mill layers. My RIR's have gone on strike and one is molting. My Toads quit over a month ago and still nothing....they have been given the ultimatium.

Haha you should see all the Buckeye eggs that are already in the icubator! It helps that I get 3-4 eggs daily from my Quad of hens and Pullets. I kicked the Buckeyes out of the breeding pens for a month until my Toad rooster gets a little older. My next hatch is going to be Orps, Cochins and Sumatras. If I could get 30 of each breed I will be done for the year. I usually have my broodies raise 20+ babies each spring so they can do te rest of the incubating this spring.


Oh the ?egg? Was laying on the floor in the back room and nobody was out of their cages so I said eh and through it into the hatching trays..
 
We are already getting plans together for next springs breeding season. We are going to build a few Aframes for grow out pens (one for pullets and one for cockerels). I won’t have anything ready for my local fair but will have some nice birds for Hutch I hope...

Your toad should be breeding now, all his hatch mates are trying to mate like crazy.
