I wish I had started a hatch along thread when we first started incubating, but oh well! I have 21 mixed eggs in an incubator who are just starting to pip, and 4 under a broody and shes already hatched 2! One other hatched but unfortunately she didnt make it, and another pipped but never made it out of the egg. Fingers crossed for her remaining 4! I’ve uploaded a pic of the two mama hen hatched. One is her own, a RIR x Austrolorp, and the chipmunk is a RIR x EE. I have a large mix of breeds for hens but all the eggs are fathered by my RIR roo. I’m interested to see what we get!
I’ll keep posting updates
Update: 4 Have now hatched in the incubator! I can clearly see one is a RIR x Brahma!!! I didnt even know my brahma was laying yet. Another is a RIR x EE, but I can’t tell the last two. I’m on my way out to check on mamas remaining 4 eggs.
