4 Chicks Down, All Done! Mystery Hatch-A-Long! Hatch Date 9/3/21 and today apparently

Hey hey hey!

Chicken math has struck again.

While I legally can't have any more chickens (I'm already 2 chickens over), my friend is asking me to incubate 12 Mille Fleur d'Uccle eggs for her! I adore incubating, and the d'Uccles are so much fun to hatch. She gave me 12 for a Bio project earlier this spring, and I kept the two pullets from that hatch. They'll be at POL soon!

She's giving me a dozen eggs in a few days. I'll be incubating them in my Brinsea Mini II Advance. I hope y'all will join along!

Good luck we have a couple of these and they are great.

you should be able to tell most around 5 weeks. The males will grow obviously large redder combs.

Yay! I’ve never hatched eggs in an incubator but I have one and might try next year! I’m still deciding what breed and if I should do ducks or chickens. What do you guys think? Are ducks harder? Should I try duck eggs for my first hatch or should I do chicken eggs?

Ducks take longer to hatch than chickens. I'd do chicken eggs for my first hatch, they're so much fun and they don't need water to swim in!
