🍃August Hatch-a-Long🍃

Stupid auto correct cx not cc
And for the record we are only growing out 100 or so cx currently in staggered batches

I still figured it out cause I figured cc stood for Cornish cross

And wow that’s a lot of meat!!

this is what was left in shell babies out

That’s waste left from the duckling. Duck hatching is messy. They don’t have clean shells like chickens do when they hatch.

I will be setting eggs August 14th. I’ll be candling them on the 22nd when I’m back home. I’m telling everyone not to touch the bator. I’m hoping to fill both up if possible so we can use some for meat and new breeders.

It looks like I will just have to watch for a while longer.
House buying isn't going as smoothly as it should... And before you all start being the bad influences you are (I'm looking at you @FortCluck and @Vantic ), we don't have the space for them or their supplies! I will just have to chicken-sit my sister's chickens more often!

Happy hatching to everyone!

I have a candle report, day 10 first candle. It is a good day to be a pig, as 12 of the 44 eggs are heading out there as a snack. These eggs were hand-carried (my truck carried) from the source at FoxFire, it had been quite hot (for us) that week, maybe the girls were not in the mood.

14 Cream Legbars (4 infertile)
13 BCM (4 infertile and a blood ring)
17 BBS (3 Infertile)

A few of the eggs are so dark my bright as the sun candler can't really see and got marks of "I think they are dead" but still put them back in the cooker. We will see on day 18.
