Anybody setting eggs this weekend? (4-25-15)

Here are a couple of mine on the day they turned 2 weeks, a Welsummer and a Buckeye, both girls. I think the males are slower to feather out.
There's a black EE hiding in there too

that's weird in how differently they have developed. Other than supplying feed and water, I am hands-off with this group. They've been on a mix of starter and meatbird feed so far. Going full meatbird feed next week.

My cross between a BCM rooster and red-sexlink type hens has created quite of an array of plumage. I have some that seem almost entirely white, black, and several different mixes. Can't wait till they finish feathering out.
 
In the on and off of oufront lights (one of the switches cuts the power in the 2 sockets on that wall) we might hatch 6

We have set 36 in our other other incubator, away from the nasty trickery switch.

Oh and we've got 2 broody gals setting about 20, silkies, orps, EE, and bantam.
 
Well incubator 1 was a bust sine the ele got turned off a day.

Incubator 2 started with 35
28 still going

12 under a broody hen at the farm too

Possible 40 total to hatch around 6/20
