Blaundee is correct that only 2 eggs hatched. Unfortunately one of the chicks was dead yesterday morning. There was no sign of trauma or pecking, but it was outside the crate so I don't know if it possibly got out in the middle of the night & got too cold. I went to the feedstore & got 3 barred rock chicks so the remaining chick wouldn't be alone. My broody accepted them without problems. I locked them all in the crate together last night to try to avoid any further losses.

Here's a pic with the chick from balundee's egg on the left:

A couple of over-achievers have pipped already for my Sunday hatch.

Oh, Blaundee, remember those Lavs I just set on the 10th? 14/14 are fertile. Whoo Hoo!

I have two Ameraucana broodies as we speak. It is easier and safer for me to use my incubator.
