Hee, Hee.
I have got to get a better flashlight or a better candler. The ones I have just didn't show much. The Silkie eggs were easy to see but the dark tan and light brown, forget it.
I did see a little better using the cell phone flash. Some of the lighter eggs I could see veins but the darker ones looked like solid with the light only showing through the air cell. Not sure if that is good or bad.
Candling Report: 3 clears, 2 questionable and 18 beautifully veined eggs. All my bantams and Mottled Orp are growing so I am Super Stoked!
Nice set up for the broody hens and babies you got there. Indie is adorable! I just love roosters. May be why I have so many.@valleychicks @FuzzyHens
I actually found a few pictures...
you can see part of it in the back...LOL
now I went to TSC and saw this baby was on sale so I bought it and put it together. all it is, is a run attachment to a coop TSC sells, so if your too lazy to build something its on sale again tight now... http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/sto...extension-pen-2-chicken-capacity-105083199--1 haha
it works great for me and all I so is simply set it up in the run of my big coop and put a few heavy bricks on top, and out two large square stones you can find at home depot and those stores. then I just put the cat box on that. I also put wood on top of it to allow shade. its a bit shabby, but works great when moving the chicks into the coop. all you have to do is open the door, and BAM. theyre included in the flock.
I had a few broody fights when I would first let them out...the mom just protecting her chicks and stuff, but its normal.
right now since I don't have any broodys hatching at the moment the pen is outside of the coop. I still have bricks on top and the cat box in because I use it for Mr. Indie, who got the name independent for a reason...LOL he loves by himself in an elevated coop and I let him out for a few hours a day in he run and kinda tractor it around. since we have a really bad hawk problem I wouldn't want my poor boy to get snatched up, so this is a great tractor as well.
im aiming to get indie a really cool coop from TSC or build him a mansion like a dog huge I saw at petsmart...LOL
also, ive considered using these dog houses bc they are almost like a coop, and they seem great.
