Out of 49 put on lockdown yesterday I woke up to 4 lively chicks running around and 2 external pips but they are on the sides below the air cell. I've never had this happen before and they are from eggs I got from a few different chicken people near me. I've made sure they are turned up and both are alive so far, I hope they make it. I candled and seen a few more internal pips, they are for the HAL and not due to hatch until Saturday. Out of the 4 they are 1 SS, 2 EE and a BYM. The little SS is the cutest one I've hatched yet and I'm sure it's a boy the way it's running around acting all crazy.
After inspecting the 15 chicks hatched earlier over half are pullets if the fast feathering that I had last year shows true this year. Makes me very happy as most of the BLRW are pullets and SS. I won't be stuck with so many roos like I had last year.
