You would think sand would make the egg not breathe... I am on day 13

Very cute. My hen that was sitting on eggs kept kicking out the tan egg for 2 days in a row, I took it away. I candled on day 3 the white eggs. One looked fine, the other looked to not be developing. I removed it, then cracked it was developing but slower than normal, probably the cold weather...

One of the eggs under my hen is from the frizzle on the left.

He is not broody, he is showing the hens where to lay an egg, because then he is a hero, and they could not figure it out on their own. "Thank you big strong manly rooster! With out you I would be laying my egg in the street!" It is funny though! he doesn't belong there!

we put a kettle on our wood stove.

Yeah I have a chart that tells how to get blue, but I can still hope! and you gotta work with the roosters you have.

I always wanted a blue maran, I have bcm, I will mix with my LO rooster, and see if they go blue.

big chickens are not fast to mature. My hen is a LO/blue cochin, and possibly blue isbar. Auroradream, I love you little birds.

we do! I thought I was looking at my birds! I gave my broody one more egg so 4 total. 2 white leghorn, one green mystery egg, one of the blue hen's tan egg.

The blue hen is the mom to my blue chicks, the little banty hen saw the chicks and got broody... (she would have adopted the blue chicks, but they were already a few days old and ran up and pecked her. I gave her 3 eggs to sit on. 3 eggs were the best number since it is cold and she has to...

I looked at my chicks, only the splash on day 5 has butt feathers, so maybe 4/5 are roosters.

look how brave the grey one is, might be a boy.

Thanks, the babies above are cute too.

Thought I would post pic of my 5, 5 day old chicks Hard to get everyone in the frame.

YES!

Yeah, he'd go bananas. It was funny to watch because he was so big and slow.

Love those tiny babies, one time I had 2 baby turkeys, and bought a tiny sebright baby to go with them. when they grew up, the boy turkey always walked around with the sebright between his legs like it was his baby, and if a hen disrespected his chick, he would chase that hen down.

and toes crossed. I have one egg left to hatch it is still incubator but I am not so naive to think I don't know what I am seeing when I candled it yesterday, it stopped on day 19. That one I don't blame on temp range I blame the hen. I have 5/6 though. I am not going to morn the egg that...
