Merry christmas!

I get my birds from dusty clover poultry in mccormick sc (I live in evans). I got ameraucanas, wyandottes, and easter eggers from them. I get my feed from tractor supply.

Heard chirping yesterday and this guy came out at 2 a.m. this morning. Hopefully, I'll have more when I get home from work! P.S. Pay no mind to the temp and humidity, some reason it dropped but everything is re-adjusted and stable.

Candled tonight, day 7. 6 veining, 4 clears, and 2 blood rings. Think the clears might vein up?
