🍃August Hatch-a-Long🍃

[Vantic]

Well I posted in the July hatch a long about my very first attempt at hatching and how it ended in 0 chicks. I tried again and this time I dry hatched because the first hatch was too wet, we have very high humidity here. This time I happy to say that I have 3 beautiful serama chicks. My first ever chicks I hatched myself. I’m so happy and glad I tried again. These were shipped eggs from eBay so only 3 out of 14 made it but I’m just glad to have any ❤

I still have my BBW turkey. I cannot butcher her. She is sweet and we make her run every day so that she is fit. She has no issues right now so she is a pet for now.

Emotional day here dropping my youngest off at college today but when I checked the incubator this morning I did have a PIP so I do have something to look forward to when I get home I guess. One out yesterday and it’s a BOY!!! maybe the one that was pipped this morning will be a girl and I can name it after my daughter!!! Lol

My six month White Rock went broody, but I had to break her. Now they are conspiring for another attempt. They are all laying in the same box for another attempt. When I catch them at it they look very guilty. I don't know how @FortCluck caused this to happen, but I am sure she is behind it.
