@CaroleW Did that other broody egg hatch?

Not yet, but I think it is moving still- I noticed it is #8 of the original 8 that I let her sit on so it must be behind the other one by a few days. I don't remember what number I marked on the Friday-midnite-hatched egg (maybe 5?). If it was still under her it would be abandoned by now so good thing I put it in incubator.

2nd broody egg hatched! It looks about the same but seems to already have a comb (that I didn't notice on first one) so we will see if roo or not.

Are the rest of the eggs due to hatch in another week?

8 days left on the countDOWN timer- I think that means they are to hatch the day after that on Day 0.

Well, either way I'm sure that you will let us know, and take a picture of them.

Would any of you try to do this with your hatching egg's? I wouldn't.

I personally would not do it. They claim it's harmless. I'd be more concerned about the part of the article that says that some places inject vaccines into embryos in the egg.

I was at Cal-Ranch today to pick up more Country Companion All-Flock pellets. They were out and said that they were having some trouble/issue at the factory. They had no idea when (if?) they would be getting more in.

I had to find an alternative. The only one that had the 20% protein (like the Country Companion does) was a Purina flock-raiser. But it was crumbles, not pellets. It was also $28.99 !!!

The employee thought flock-raiser was just another name for all-flock? Is this true? I've been avoiding layer pellets since I have a rooster and provide oyster shell on the side.

I'm leery about using crumbles with my feeder. I hope it won't spill everywhere.
