2015 HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long, Join us IF YOU DARE!

[venymae]

Hello everyone! Last year we hatched 9/12 eggs in our coolerbator from my father's RIR for his flock. This year we started our own flock and are hatching 4 ee/b.orp and 3 w.leg/b.orp eggs in a Brinsea. They are from a local lady and unfortunately the white ones were refrigerated, but we're giving them a shot anyway!


Set day: October 17

This hatch chart should be helpful and you should take the plug out and lose it..Let the cat play with or something. The day you set the eggs is always day one--there is no such thing as a day 0.....O is a place holder used in math and does not happen in the real world--You can have none of something but if you have any of something, you cannot have 0.

Thank you so much for the chart! I don't have a cat....yet....hahaha

I had to take my little Silkie/cross out and put her with another less playful chick. The ones in this pic were all pecking her feathers on her feet!


I know this is a horrible photo! For now it's the best I can do. Her eyes are closed and she still has matting.

She's an EE mix. Took me awhile but she's identical to the other EE

Sorry this has taken me so long to get back you. Here's a new pic of Goldie. Frizzle wouldn't sit still long enough for me to get a clear photo, but he does have feathers growing back down on his legs. He's such a big mess right now from his molt. I just started putting feather fixer in their feed in hopes it will help somewhat. He was so full and fluffy and beautiful in the Spring when we bought him.

Lockdown time for my eggs! Expecting them to hatch Sunday. 6 out of 7 are still in! I am super excited. Its been a couple months since I've had babies.

I am thinking I might save for Svart Hona eggs in the spring instead of getting an order of hatchery chicks. Chicks in the mail is the most stressful experience I've had in chicken keeping so far.

My chickens almost died last night!!!!!!
My dog was barking so I got my torch looked into the darkness and saw a fox.
So I ran with my dog after the fox then I remembered I DIDN'T LOCK UP MY CHICKENS!!!!
But they were all alright.
