We locked down 20 of our original 39. Most that didn't make it to lockdown was because they weren't fertile. A few quit though. Pulled out 2 right before I set up for lockdown. Everyone else still had nice veins and good movement even though those eggs are getting full! This will be my biggest incubator hatch ever if all goes well. I'm not counting chicks though, lol. Just counting eggs.

People. Bamadude has become the voice of reason here.


Let that sink in a minute.

Okay, so I found a nest that a hen had left, so I put them in the bator. So far one has hatched and a few more look like they might in the next few days!

Babies already!
