That is a huge raccoon! :eek:

WOW! That's a lot of eggs! You should join us in the February or March hatch-a-long if you have eggs in the incubator again! I'm taking part in both...because naturally my hatching addiction status has not changed since last year. lol

I just took my one legged rooster, Peg Leg Pete, to a sanctuary yesterday, he was my last rooster from last year. Wasn't from this hatch-a-long but I'm sure you remember the last devastating broody hatch for me last year...the Iowa Blue with the slipped tendon I couldn't fix...yep, didn't matter...

Sneaky rooster wanted to stay with you, lol.

Maybe they're just waiting to get through winter? I feel like a lot of my pullets took longer this time around and I really think it was because of when they hatched. March/April vs June/July made for a longer maturing period even for the same breeds, not by a ton but at least an extra month...

I'm loving the colors!!!

I have my fist broody hen of the year already. It's my sign that it's time to start hatching again. lol! I'm picking up Silkie eggs on Tuesday. :D

Love it! Maybe the white egg will start to show more color once her reproductive system works out the kinks. 🤞

They're all blue but the CCLs have a greenish cast to them compared to the TB.

Oh I forgot I already have a picture of them side by side because I have hatched them side by side! lol!

Thanks! And her eggs are the largest I get in the flock, I almost can't close the egg carton, lol. I'll definitely take one tomorrow!

I have a "not-so-olive-egger" too!! She lays various shades often on the pink side but sometimes even a bit purple. She was from a cross from Marans roo over EE.

It's blue/green, lol , I'm spoiled by how blue the True Blue eggs are so not as blue as their eggs but it's not as green as my Easter Eggers either.

I'm not 100% positive what I hatched in this particular hatch along, lol! BUT! I got my first egg from my little Frosted Legbar today! Two of the True Blue Triplets have been laying for a few weeks, I'm thinking the 3rd may be laying as well and she's just hiding them...

Oh my goodness I love them!!! :love:love:love

Congrats on a great hatch! They all look happy and healthy!

:eek: Yikes! See, I'm not very aggressive so I would have walked away and used it as an excuse to buy more hatching eggs. Lol!

Aww, poor sweet girl. You're doing everything I would be doing. Maybe check her over for any other signs of trauma? Checking her crop to see if it feels like she's been eating at all, that sort of thing. Also if she poos, I know it's gross but I would definitely check her poo for anything weird...

Eggs are my preference as well. It was far more stressful introducing hatched chicks than eggs. The broodies always seem to readily accept eggs. It's too bad you're not closer! I've had those BBS Marans eggs in my incubator for 10 days now and I just tossed the clears. I'm sure you'll be able to...

@jolenesdad that fact that she wasn't aggressive toward to chicks is still a really good sign that she'll be a good broody. She may just need to sit longer before accepting some chicks. You've been waiting so long for a broody, I would hate for you to not be able to enjoy it! Maybe when get...
