Who's Setting Eggs This Week[end]? [August 8-14] - Page 27

post #261 of 939

I had a nice suprise this morning. My broody French Blue Maran is sitting on 12 eggs due to hatch tomorrow. She has started early. Have to chicks and 5 more pipping.

Down to 12 and I know there is at least one more in there that is not looking good either.  This is day 10 for me.  Fingers crossed the rest of them make it!

 

I am new to this world of keeping backyard chickens (10 months in), but I've bought them from the feed store, hatched a few, and now purchased from a breeder. If only I had more land!

Putting babies in the house. Mama is starting to molt and has lost most of her feathers. Will take care of the babies. Have 7 now. With 3 or 4 more pipping.

Day 8 and six wiggly babies out of 8. I ordered them from a lady on here. And so far its a great hatch rate!

Oh my goodness this thread moves fast! What a great group of folks here.

Nuthatch, what exactly is a 'pocket chicken'?

Ok, you all convinced me... Time to candle. Still pretty dark out here so I'm going to candle right in the kitchen where the eggs are incubating.

I always keep the clears until next candling. I look for dark clouds and blood rings the first time. Those are the stinkers that could ruin it all. Some of the early "clears" end up OK, some don't.

GOOD LUCK y'all!

Chickens and turkeys in the backyard since 1984. They co-habitate with PB pigs (5) and barn cats. Only purebreds are Welsummers, SC Rhode Island White and Royal Palm Turkeys. APA. NRA.

You would be amazed what you can trade eggs for.

No woman ever shot her husband while he was doing the dishes.

Oh yeah, I got a nap for that.
