I know!!! I am a little nervous about being gone because these will probably be a malposition hatch, because of all the crud theyve been through, but they will be fine.

Noooo!!!!!! I dropped and egg... and it was fertile and developing!!

I was candling and the egg slipped and fell, almost landing on a cat's head. It was a Splash Ameraucana too!

Oh, I am so sorry!!

Just an update on my group 1, and group 2 hatches on my Blue Australorp chicks:

Group 1: All 4 that hatched out in that batch are active, and eating and drinking good. It was a 100% hatch rate.

Group 2: 8 out of the 9 eggs hatched out. The 9th one looked like it outgrew the egg, and suffocated inside. 7 of the 8 are now in the brooder with the 4 from group 1. The last one that hatched is still in the incubator resting and drying off.

I had a total of 12 hatchlings from both of the groups combined. They are the blues, but in various shades of blue.

Love that broody image!!!  I am sorry about the doggy issue with the eggies!! boooo

Thank you!
I was out today looking for a stash, but we have so many weeds, it is almost a lost cause. I have also been trying to figure out what else might be causing them to suddenly not be laying, if they don't actually have a stash somewhere. I have a light in the hen house on a timer, but this morning I was watching and they are coming outside when it is still 2.5 hours before sunrise, and then standing in the dark in a huddle to keep warm. So much for the lighting!
