YAY KIKI!!!


You know, in 2/4 of my hatches so far the very first chick to pip has died soon after. Very weird, wonder what the factors that are correlating there are.

Hatching some replacements for me and rest will be sold. Have double racks of chickens in the 2nd cabinet. Fan shot craps in the 3rd cabinet yesterday so I have another one on the way. Those eggs were moved to hatchers to cook until the fan comes in.

Could you post pics? This sounds incredible. And I thought going for 100 was nuts... 25 dozen is awesome!

@Texas Kiki how are your new little ones doing?

On our front here, we have 47 that are doing well and growing. All 47 se ef m to be strong and healthy.
Our ones with splayed legs didn't make it. A few died and I had to cull two. I had to chill another one who get soaked somehow. It was laying up against the water tray. I think others sp lo ashed it while drinking and climbing on the rocks in the water tray. This wet one looked like it was trampled too. It was in very tough shape and suffering. I tried quarantining it in a shoe box placed in the brooder, but ultimately I had to cull it.

The teenage molt feathers are even worse imo >.<

I was having a severe case of chick envy but this cured it, thank you LOL.

I am so jealous! I can't hatch any chicks- hubby wants me to stop having chickens because I retire soon and we will be traveling. I am happy to retire but can't I just take the chicks with me
