Roos are courting their ladies. My roos have a very high fertility rate. Much better than my incubating and hatching ratios. But I am going to change that!!
Momma hen bringing out new babies for first time. She is being a good little momma so far.
After momma hen got off nest, I removed it. No life in remaining eggs. 1 unfertilized, 3 with developed chicks. Will crack open and investigate later. No time right now. Gotta help with new pen construction.
Moma hen got out of nest this morning while I was gone to pick up materials and welder to build new pen. There are 7 live, healthy babies. All seem happy even with the new construction underway.

Everybody here happy the sun came out.
Stopped gathering eggs when I signed up on site. Think I have 2 hens that are being broody. One just jumped off when I put out feed. Have put up heat lights and hung a sheet to block wind in nesting area.
Last 2 batches of hatchlings add up to six pack. All look OK so far. Changed out 40 watt bulb to 60 for heat through cold spell. Hoping it comes up by evening in mom's freezer.
