Definitely good practice.

I need to correct my hatch rate. I checked all my unhatched eggs and found 2 clears that got by me during candling. 60% still isn’t great but it’s better than 53%.

You did better than my 53% with eggs from my own hens. Of the ones that made it to lockdown, 8 didn’t hatch. Ima check them out today and see what’s in there.

So true, but I have still caught many daredevils as they tried to bail off a high place!😂

I don’t know how you managed to get that pic without a disaster, but good job!

3 chicks, zips and pips all over the place.

Got 1 chick a whole day early and another pip. Hoping the little one will get a friend to play with for the night.

I was only talking about the RIR and it’s totally possible that I’m wrong. This could be one without the strong markings.

My bad, it actually is an octagon. Get ready for some brawls!

While it’s not an octagon, the shape of your pen might encourage the chicks to fight a lot.

Yep, Foxy Brown gets all of ours out in the woods.

Goes by much quicker when I’m not thinking about it and I’ve got lots more that I need to be doing.

Day 9 (and only candling) revealed 5 clears out of the 22 BC eggs I set. No opening until lockdown now! 😁
