That is so funny! They must think nothing can separate them.

Lookit the bunnies, George!!And this happened yesterday. Not poultry but still cute.
Well, here we are on the day that I was expecting the hatching to start sometime tonight or tomorrow. And we have already seen four chicks hatch and fluff. There are three currently zipping and I hope to see their eyes tomorrow morning. Plus I don't know how many I have pipping because the hatched kids keep playing soccer (futbol) with the other eggs. I'm sure there were some I saw pipped who have now been rolled over. Which reminds me to ask, "should I be concerned about that or will the chick figure it out?" Seems like a broody hen might continue to roll eggs after some of the hatchlings are out, but I don't know.
To make room for them I moved all my brooder chicks (five weeks old) to the hen house, separated from my older ones. Then I cleaned and sanitized the brooder, placed some of those 12x12 inch blue paper shop towels on the floor of it, and will begin to warm it up for the babies tomorrow. The interior of the brooder is 4' long, 2' deep, and 2' high. Then under the hardware cloth floor is a poop shelf where I keep some trays filled with pine shavings.
All in all it looks like we're pretty much ready to go.

Yes, the soccer playing is normal. The chicks seem to figure it out.
I have 41 eggs (mixed variety breeds-Easter Eggers, barred rock, Rhode Island, golden laced Wyandotte etc) in my genesis 1588 incubator at 15 days! I set 44 and have thrown out 1clear and 2 quitters. I'm doing it at school for my kindergarteners!- they're very excited! It's so much fun to candle them and show them the chick "swimming" around! They're just amazed! My chicks are due the 19th. They usually hatch a day or so early though.
