Isn't a person suppoised to take a picture of the time clock? To proove the time the chick was hatched?

yes its LOCAL TIME so someone who hatches 12:03 am eastern can be beat for first hatch by someone who hatches 12:02 am pacific time (hope that makes sense? )

Yes, thanks! Makes perfect sense!

But it doesn't apply until AFTER midnight, so the ones that are hatching now don't count...

first hatch doesnt count until after MIDNIGHT so 12:00am, 12:01 ect local time

anything hatching right now or before midnight doesnt count​

FLUFFYYY LAAAIIIIDDD AN EGG!!!!


^ thats her when she went into ICU for roosters overbreeding her (notice the head)
long story short ad 40 chicken racoon or something came and we went down to four and she was one of the survivors
but she paid the price of the use of one leg and a wing, both are lame
she didnt lay for years
and the other month i saw her in a floor nesting box. thought she was just camping out
we always see her getting bred bc she cant get away (she can only hop a little)
evidently, she was laying!! thats definitly a cochin x
ayayayyay!
