Here's a picture of Sophia today. She is now 5 months old. She's wet from playing outside and a bit pissy because I told her to hold still. :gig
 
@Kiki This is the "your fault" batch that I just set
30 Falb Fee (replacement for the drop kicked batch)
30 Mystery
Did you mark the eggs?
 
Yeah it stunk!! Thankfully I’m not really like super super attached to these babies; I tried not to bond with them too closely in case any were boys, but of course all the best breeds and ones I had wanted to keep were boys! :barnie

And then the one that got killed was one of my favorites and also one I wanted to keep! I knew he was a boy right from the very first day so no surprise there but he was the first to hatch and very sweet! Also the only one that was named and I really wanted to keep him! :barnie

And idk if I’m going to hatch any more haha at least not for a while :lau

But I am planning on keeping at least one boy so I’m sure I’ll want to set their eggs later on! :lau I think I might just wait for a broody hen this time though haha

I’m keeping 3 of the boys and the one girl for now and going to decide which one I want to keep for real later on as they get older and their personalities develop more. But I might also just make a bachelor pen for all of them.

Well I’m sure you will eventually get around to hatching more! If you have a bachelor pen you can pick and choose who stays with the ladies when you do think about hatching more 🐣

Damn, I’m still waiting for a single fertile egg...
