5 babies out by bedtime last night (3 Ameraucana/Araucana bantam and 2 Ameraucana/Araucana crossed with my Light Sussex Frizzle bantam roo, so technically Easter Egger). 4 more out by the time I got home from work today. Need to move them to the brooder, but I know for sure 2 of them are...

One Ameraucana/Araucana bantie out when I got home from work this afternoon. 3 more pipped. So excited. Hoping for a dark chipmunk colored one or maybe two since I lost my brown chipmunk hen unexpectedly last weekend.

locking down tonight. Ameraucana/Araucana banties and 4 eggs from the crossing of my fav backyard mix hen and my d'Uccle roo which are mostly a happy accident, but I'm excited to see what happens to the coloring since she's a cream colored bird with lavender barring.

I let mine sit in a bathtub of bleach water for 15 min, then let it dry off either under the plant lights or in the sun. And I use a bit of bleach water on a rag to wipe the inside of the lid and anything else that was in there. I also either use new humidity sponges or bleach them too.

I did too. All the week and a half babies out the door today (save one I have a special affinity for). Full turner of d'Uccle mille fleurs in the 'bator to be candled tomorrow for day 7, slated for hatch Easter Sunday. And DH is thinking I should have a dedicated hatcher, so probably going to...
