Yep! They’re replacing her crele roo that had to go to the farm (literally, he’s a bug eater now vs being eaten)

Ok, my latest hatch just finished up last night. On the Bielefelder's, I am now up to 11 pullet's and 3 cockerel's, and they are from 3 different states of shipped egg's. I think that I need a hatching break. I'll have to take some picture's of all of the age group's of them later on.

That's a nice ratio, what was your hatch rate in the different batches?

Batch 1 was from Illinois. Had a dozen, 6 hatched, but the only boy that hatched was to weak to thrive.

Batch 2 was from Georgia. Had a dozen, 4 hatched. There was 2 boy's and 2 girl's.

Batch 3 was from Texas. had a dozen, 5 hatched. There are 4 girl's and 1 boy. 2 more girl's tried to hatch on the underside of the egg and I didn't notice it. I think those 2 drowned in the egg fluid's, as they were pretty bloody. They might have pecked through a vein or something.

Isn't it great that you know right away after they hatch to be correct in giving it a girl or a boy name? Unfortunately I cannot name any of my girl's Barbara, as I wouldn't know if my DH was talking to me or the pullet.
