Final note from our Assisted Living. EVERYONE had a great time with this years hatch! So great to see so much interest, and smiling faces. We will see Ya'll next year.
Final count from the Cottages Assisted Living and Memory Care. One location hatched 8, and the other location hatched 6. 14 TOTAL! ( 20 had made it to lock down) We will keep the chicks in the brooder boxes for a week or 2, and watch them grow!
Black Copper Marans, Buff Orpingtons...
20 of the 28 eggs made it to Lock Down.... Large winter storm hitting tonight hoping we don't loose power!
