First incubation starts tomorrow night! I can't wait!

We have a roo named Willy(the hen he used to live with was named Wonka) and he's got a broken leg that never healed because his last owners didn't know how to handle an aggressive roo. He's a house rooster for at least tonight because even though he's been in our flock for months, I just caught one of the other roos pounding him into the ground... literally.
We just lost our head rooster last night... I'll keep his photo as my profile pic in his memory.
Sorry I haven't posted in forever. We're at about 130 birds right now... yay for hobbies that turn into careers! I love all my fluffy butts.
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.
