Whoops. That would be Welp hatchery. Engineering does silly things to my brain.

Welp hatchery in Iowa.

Edited to add: sorry to hear about your loss

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! My partiridge rock hens have began to lay, time to get the bator fixed, *evil laugh while stroking hands together in a greedy, chick hungry manner*. If I can get some birds on the ground this month I can have then large enough to see what I might want to keep, as far as leg color, comb shape.

We are getting hit by a black bear. So far we have lost have the flock and one coop need to be rebilt. It has not hit for the past two days since we got the motion camera. It is bear season here so I am hoping someone got it. We have 14 total with 4 roos. This is so fustrating for he is hitting at night.

Hoping you have a great hatch.

I will be putting alot in to hatch as soon as I get more than one laying. We have as of now 13 total and that is with 4 roo's. everyone doing good and no more sign of the bear.

Just to keep posted, I have a half dozen ready for the bator.

but the girls layed two eggs today so thats good news

. I think I might wait till Sunday to put eggs in the bator just to make sure that I have atlest a dozen. In other news................my partridge cochin hens started laying

.

. So I will see about collecting eggs from them soon.

.

Anyway, here's a pick of Bob, my pr breeder, he got in a fight with another roo so his feathers are a bit messed up, some are even missing.

. stupid bird. -_- .

Here is my hatchery PR cockerel. He's a hatchery bird so I don't expect his quality is anything to write home about, but he was an accident and I never expected to have him! He's a friendly fellow with people but is already protecting the hens from any threats.

This one is a little washed out..
