we are new to the AZ area. We are up in the white mountains, moved here from NY. Right now we have 22 chickens, not sure how many hens/ros, since most are straight run. We are getting ready to hatch more also. I dont think we will raise tukerys here, main reason I cant find any. We raised them...
One of my eggs hatched :) So excited. But found out we are moving in a year so I am not adding any more to my flock, I can't image moving with to many chickens.
I haven't done anything yet. Trying to hold out hope for late hatchers. Most are dark brown so not sure I will be able to candle well. I was thinking about maybe egg-topsy laster this week to see. How late can they hatch, or well how long should I hold out hope for?
And nothing. I have the temp right the whole time. Humidity was right where it was to be too.

All my eggs I think are dead in my incubator. I need to find some fertile eggs closer I think they were in the mail to long. Course the temp spike thanks to my little one didn't help either.
yesterday the girls were out in the rain, they like to play int eh rain? and it started snowing and...
I missed this but Hubby will be processing the birds, he can do that for me. I will learn how but really it will be I'm and 2 or 3 of the kids. I have 2 that I know will help and do a good job not sure about the other we will see. I am not sure what kind of rooster I want, I know I want some JG...
