Question, I made hatching baskets and seperated the eggs at lock down but i'm convinced one chick climbed over... Do Ameraucana chicks ever hatch out chipmunk? I'm convinced an Icelandic scaled the fence and went to play with the neighbors.
I believe I have 31 in the brooder. I counted 31 still in the bator and did the math cause these little sprites won't sit still :D
Now I'm off to class, I won't be home for HOURS. Hopefully, I'll survive :P
I have 12 in the brooder so far and another 8 or so drying in the hatcher. I got a coupe pictures but my DS has the laptop with the card reader built in so now I'm off to find the cord that allows me to plug the camera into this laptop to download pics.

I didn't see any pips while I was puzzling all the eggs into hatching baskets. I almost didn't get all the eggs back in as the baskets took up more room than I...
Too funny. We bribe everyone at work all the time. We bake. When we created a new division, which meant remodeling and reshuffling half the department (about 12 people) everyone was crying, screaming and stomping their feet (literally) so we baked.
47 DOZEN cookies. Plates of fresh cookies...
Hold on, Roos are more sensitive to higher temps so it is LESS likely that any will be Roos
And a couple degrees won't be fatal. Remember broody momma's breast can be 102 and she gets off the nest which allows them to cool.

Relax....
