I locked down 97 Bobs on Thursday nite. It looked like all but 23 eggs were developed, from what I could tell with my spotlight! As of this morning, I have 14 healthy chicks in the brooder. I expect a busy hatch day on today through tomorrow. I can only imagine how busy I will be with 80+ chicks...keeping my fingers crossed! I will try to get some pics posted later with an update.
