Think we're going to over shoot by a day or two. Eggs are in the hatcher but since I set them so late they probaby will end up hatching tonight after I go to bed lol.
Still collecting and will hopefully set what I get tomorrow. I'm hoping I fixed the temp issue in my incubator and my eggs will hatch on time lol instead of late if not I might be right there with you on the 19th. Waiting to order my new Brinsea Spot Check on Friday.
Okay so to hatch on St Patricks Day I need to have the eggs start off on the 25th and hopefully my temp issue will be settled by then so babies will hatch on time. If not I'll have day after St Patty Day babies lol. Setting about a dozen Orp eggs. We should get mixed colors since the Feb eggs...
Yeah we occasionally get those. People moving up from the city areas who want everything their way and it just doesn't work that way. We do do some things out of consideration of our neighbors. I don't process where the kids can see from across the street and I make sure that when I process if...
This new neighbor doesn't like my compost pile when it's in view of the road and doesn't like when the chickens free range the whole yard so she can see them on the other side of the road. I'm fairly okay with all her complaints. I know the regulations for where I live and what I'm allowed to do...
Ridiculous I can't stand people like that. We had a new neighbor move in across the street and they actually called the town select board and told them she thought we had rats over here because we are in the process of remodeling the house and had building materials and insulation outside the...
When we searched for our house years ago we made sure it was in an area zoned agricultural. I do have neighbors but most like to watch my chicks grow (I tend to grow out my babies on the front lawn and they walk by on the road and watch them play lol. I keep lots of roosters over the summer...
Just found out the guy I got 2 dozen blue Orps from also has Choc Mottled so going to have to get more eggs I think lol. But also loving the babies I'm getting from my own birds this year. Such good looking babies.
I'll be about a week early for St Pattys day but I think I might be able to squeeze another dozen into the incubator for then. Having so much fun hatching this year.
My fertility isn't great yet I have one cockerel and three hens but I think he's only fertilizing two of the hens so going to have to add in more hens and another rooster so that maybe he will get his act together.
I like to hatch each spring and I set up a camera so I can show live feed of babies in the incubator and eggs hatching this is my current set of babies/eggs. There is a baby in there too that hatched this morning but it has fallen in love with the camera and is cuddling it lol so we can't see it...
I have another 2 dozen Blue Orp eggs coming whenever the temps level out above 30 lol but will be loading my own in the incubator from now until June too so I get a good selection to choose from.
