6 chicks and counting... this hatch actually started hatching on day 21.

I am pissed right now. We found a weasel about a month ago. Last week we lost our beloved Peggy, last night I lost 5 more.

Bought 9 chicks yesterday(up to 12 now). Realized I ended up with a $2 BLRW this morning... Oh, the blissful ignorance of feed stores...

I'm waiting impatiently to see a pip... thankfully I'm busy until this afternoon so I have to step away from the incubator

Quick update: Ella's a rooster... haven't given up the name yet. 8 chicks on the way, Fri/Sat(staggered hatch) is lockdown.

It's time to start weaning again! Ella, my house hen, will be 16 weeks tomorrow. So, it's time to start switching her to layer pellets.

Down to one 11.5 week old hen. It's sad, but I'm also happy. I know if I want to breed, I'll have to get used to it.

First egg!!! EDIT: first from my flock. Most of which are April babies.

I have 8 and 1 that I had to assist but it's still not doing great... 1 more pip and still a few eggs to go.

7/25 and counting. 28% hatch rate already. I'd say that's pretty good especially for a first timer. They have until Wednesday to finish up.
