Well, I now have 14 little fuzzies! 5 were in the brooder already (early birds) so I had 9 hatch while I was snoozing. The first New Years one hatched at 3:02 a.m.
6 more pips, and finally some action from the Egyptian Fayoumi eggs! The Buff Orpingtons were all the early birds, 5 popped out one after another. Now we have some pips in some of the other eggs, but it looks like they are all resting, no more chicks for tonight. (Maybe. You know how chicks can...
Well, mine are pipping and zipping all over the place, even though day 1 was the 13th. I may need to adjust my temperatures. All 5 that have hatched so far are healthy and fantastic however though!
So my New Years Day hatch has turned into a New Years Eve hatch I guess! I have counted 4 more...
I totally lied about how many eggs I set, I was going to use the bars which makes it hold only 24 but a guy gave me some can not miss eggs and I ended up taking out the bars and cramming it full. 32 eggs woo hoo! I'm most excited about the show bantam eggs he snuck into the cartons, 3 mystery...
I found the lady I gave my BO rooster to last year, and he has a whole harem of ladies, and she is going to start savings eggs for me on the first, I'll be setting an incubator full!
