No hatching for me since our temporary residence is a 24 ft camper for all 4 of us. Try as I might, I just couldn't find anywhere to stash a bator where it wouldn't get knocked over. I sent Cynthia every egg I could stuff into her box so I will at least have some eggs in this hatch. They went out a couple days later than planned due to an ice storm & trying to move, but "better late than never"...right???
My girls have now gone on strike because of the move & the fact that they are sharing a temporary home with ducks, geese, turkeys & goats. I have only managed to get 1 large pen up so far, covered the top with tarps & plastic on all sides. It's warm in there from all of the body heat but kind of damp from the waterfowl. Hope they do ok anyway.

You are so helpful!

They will be ok. The Hens will start laying again soon too.

Did not get my eggs in....
I am sick.............Feels like the flu despite having a flu shot..........
Will try to get them in today.
I am setting 5 Serama eggs...plus others.........
Perhaps the Seramas will hatch a day early.

I like these hatch alongs first time but nice having all do it with me. I cant wait for an easter hatch along. I want to find black indian runners and sneek them in without wife knowing. She dont want ducks then again she dont want chickens. Good thing she has me around to show her its not weather you want them but you neeeeeed them and got to have them!! I thought she was going to kill me all this year. I told her 6 chickens well dirst day that 6 turned to 11. Now 38 so need ducks cant let her get a break of being mad or she may leave me next time she gets mad. I fugure if its one long period of being mad she can only hold it againts me once not 2+ times. Love my logic.
