Valentine's Day Hatch

[featherz]

I pulled my two questionables today and I have.. hmmm. 23 left I believe. Need to double check. I started a day late so I am not locking down until tomorrow night but I took the eggs off the turner and am just rocking the incubator. had to check on my taped egg (still doing well) and pull those two 'no good' eggs. Most of my eggs are blue hot2pot eggs so I am keeping my fingers crossed!!1

At least one of the 11 NYD chicks I kept is turning into a roo, so that's at least one more I have to rehome. I have enough roos to go around.

I have chocolate ameracaunas due today, but I don't see any pips yet. I do have 2 more bantam Welsummers in there hatching

eta: correction, I just peeked and I have 2 choc amera's pipped! whoot!

Are these Am's or EE's? I've always been curious on that. Good luck though!!

I'll be putting 30 into lockdown tonight, pretty nice considering I set 42 eggs. Can't wait til they start peeping. I bet I'll wake up in the middle of the night, jump out of bed, and get the flashlight going, nose pressed to the bator.

Here's my rooster courting submission.



My Polish rooster "Bowie" courting a Houdan x Polish hen. If he wasn't crested his whole head would be in the shot, but, it's all about the wings to them, right?

Took a lot of courting shots and sadly most were too far away or just not showy enough. Was fun though. We had sun for a few days and everyone loved it, so I got to spend a lot of time in the back pasture with (most of) the flock.

And hey, whattaya know, about half of the chicks I'll be hatching this Valentine's day are sired by him.
