    HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long 2016 w/ Hosts, Mike, Sally & BantyChooks

    Our broody hen hatched its first egg yesterday. Several more under her that I will leave for another week or so. So exciting she was successful! Our incubator has only 6 more days! 25 good looking eggs still.

    HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long 2016 w/ Hosts, Mike, Sally & BantyChooks

    Just candled our incubator eggs. 25 out of 27 have embryos! Today is Day 7. We haven't checked on the hens eggs, they should be hatching in about a week though. I think shes hiding 4 or 5 under her.
