I have a broody barred rock and I have no clue how many eggs are under her. How do I check? I think I read somewhere I wait for her to go to sleep? I would also like to put a few more eggs under her. She already bit me once, because I didn't recognize what was going on.

I'm getting quail there tomorrow morning. I's so excited!

I made an awesome spreadsheet to track my chickens this year. You should look at it and tell me what you think. The Hatch sheet is still under construction when it comes to sheet totals and linking to the totals sheet. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByQesO4DlmekVDVVcmUtT1NHOXM/edit?usp=sharing

Drumroll!!!! I did a 100% hatch after pulling the infertile eggs!! My first ever hatch mid November was a failure (my thermometer went out when I raised the humidity during lockdown, so I cooked the babies). I hatched one egg last week. Today, my 27 eggs hatched!

Oh, there is one in there that is a week older

My new babies that started hatching last night. I still have 2 in the incubator + 3 eggs that are pipped and trying to hatch.

The EE isn't laying yet. My white rocks are older. This was the last egg I collected before they stopped laying for winter.

The only rooster I have is a RIR, and a dog killed more than half of my layers two months ago, leaving me with my White Rocks. Besides those, I have an EE and a White Leghorn at POL, but no eggs yet (and they wouldn't lay a brown egg.) I'm assuming my white rock doesn't carry the silver factor.

I hatched this chick yesterday. It's dad is a RIR and mom is a white rock. It's the only chick that hatched so I have no siblings to compare it to. Is this a red sex link pullet? Or does my white rock not carry the right genome? Or is it impossible to tell?

Anyone in the Dawson, Pickens, Forsyth, Cherokee county area want 7 chickens, all 9 weeks old? 5 Black Australorp Pullets, 1 Black Australorp Cockerel, and 1 Easter Egger Pullet. I picked them up a few weeks ago, and I haven't had time to put up my coop extension. They've been living in a box in...

I got them from a local feed and seed. They sell chicks until September, but they didn't sell out this year. I got the lucky remaining chicks ;) A few may accidentally slip and fall in my incubator. They may even turn it on on their way down!

So I'm out. I got a great deal on 13 Black Australorps (that are 9 weeks old) today so my husband so no hatches until the weather clears up and we get the second half of our coop up.

There is still hope. Today is day 24 and my eggs are still rolling around!

I'm sitting on pins and needles. At 8 I roll into day 22 of my hatch and there is nothing. No movement. No pipping. I'm afraid my thermometer broke after day 18 and I cooked the babies. On day 18 they looked great. Good development, and plenty of movement from 6 of the 7 that made it to lockdown.

I found a great place locally that sells fertile eggs for hatching and eating for $2.50 a dozen! I think I'm going to get 3doz for this hatch a long

Thank you! I love it. I'm trying to find more eggs locally so I can do the New Years hatch a long too hehe

My hatch rolled into day 20 30min ago! Some of the eggs are rolling around. I ordered a Genesis 1588 a few days ago, and it came in the mail today. I'm starting another hatch tomorrow!

Never mind. The light kicked on consistently about 20 minutes after I plugged it in.

My new Hovabator Genesis 1588 came in the mail today and I can't make heads or tails of the instructions. I have it set up properly. I plugged it in and the fan turned on. The light turned on for a few seconds then turned off. The only thing the instructions said about the light is it should...
