🍃August Hatch-a-Long🍃

[chickiebaby1]

So I guess I will be joining this hatch along too. Was going to take a break but......
Ordered another set of Bielefelder since my last hatch only gave me 2 girls and 7 boys! Luckily I have a place to rehome extra Roos. Now if I can just get a few more girls out of my next batch!

Hey! I know it's still July but I got three eggs in the bator due for August 5th. Two of the eggs are Asian Black x GLW and the other one is either GLW x GLW or BR x GLW. My incubator is the Harris Farms Nurture Right 360.

What a cutie! At first I couldn't see her because she looked like part of the artwork on the Purina bag! The Purina peeps ought to do something like that--sideways, too. It would be hilarious!

Same here. I just finished my July hatch and think it's time to chill for a while and just enjoy the fuzzy babies that belong to others.

Yeah, I thought that too... Only now I have two more broodies. One is sitting on seven and the other on three fakes. DH (who vehemently does NOT think we need more chickens (He may be right about that ) says it's time to give the poor pathetic thing some real eggs. So... I'm just gonna give her some of the seven if they all look good. Otherwise she can have whatever I collect today, within reason. I'll put the little dear in the broody coop so something doesn't eat her. Hopefully she'll accept her new digs. She's been nesting all day in a canvas tarp & I've been toting her to her flock's tractor in the evening so she can eat and sleep in safety.

Hey all!

@FortCluck Thanks for posting those helpful links at the top!

I have set 8 Sulmater eggs due August 5th. They were shipped and some were scrambled. Not great odds. Going to try anyway
