I set up a poll for the last hatch under the games & fun, only because someone else had put theirs there as well.

I' m afraid to candle the big redwood bator because this it's first test for me. I hope out of the 153 eggs something is growing.

It might not count for the broody contest (I have no idea), but it would definitely count for the Chickens with Children or Animals contest week three! thumbsup.gif  What an awesome dog to be so good with that chick!

 

Well, I missed you all yesterday!  I had a friend from college who I haven't seen in at least 5 years come in from Nebraska, so I had a really nice visit until very, very late. 

Yesterday was, of course, Day 5 (Here's two different eggs on Day 5):

And today will be Day 6:
