Well got home a got the chores done. Went to the incubator and started counting my chickens. At least I waited until they hatched.

Pulled out 60 so far. Still had several trying to hatch.

Had to take pictures in sections couldn't find anything bug enough to put them in to get the group picture. I'm not sure if they can even be count in the pictures but I know how many I put I. Each one. I don't figure I'm up for any prizes on the contests anyway. I do want to say though I have had a lot if fun anyway. Good friends and comradirery (spelling).

Oh yeah last years baby was a momma this New Years. I know because she is tha only rose combed chicken on the place a several had rosé combs.


24 in this picture.

Im still waiting, so far no chicks here. My broody hasn't budged and wont allow me to look under her. I might lift her off the nest tomorrow to see whats going on but for now Im trying to be patient and don't want to disturb her or her eggs. Today was hatch day for me so Im trying not to rush it.

Love my broody hens!! I notice when I approach my broodies during incubation they do a low growling sound. When I approach once a chick has hatched they make a different sound, more of a deep coo as a warning to the chick to hush. Yours may not make any noise but you can try to listen and see if she does. You don't want to lift her if it is cold where she is sitting. A pipped or zipping egg could get chilled. I don't like bothering my first time mommas because if they get agitated, they can squirm and possibly step on a chick or egg that is hatching. I have a couple that have been hatching chicks for three years now and I know I can lift them to check on progress.
