She needs to see this...and...yep, people on here that share photos of theirs that have hatched. ron has a few.

Last year I set 4 dozen--hatched out 32 of them. They were definitely fertile!

I feel silly right now with the whole cabinet bator running and only 1 egg in it lol. I had 3 in it but only one has any development. I guess it'll be a little singleton for a week and a half if it hatches. It'll just get to be super spoiled I'll be adding more on Friday We are doing the whole 2 days before and after the set date to count, correct?

Yes, a couple days either way is fine...

@Eggscoozme
I am getting just WTB pullets from MMcM during the first week in April as well as some Olive Eggers from Meyer at he same time. I hope to get a black Copper Maran roo this summer so I can hatch out some eggs next year

I thought about trying Trader Joe's too. But with the chicks I'm getting from Penny1960, added to my two, plus the eggs I'm putting in on the 11th, I think I'll be Way over my limit!

Limit? There's a limit?

Haha. Apparently my HOA seems to think so!

So I have one broody now and one thinking about it. The cold snap changed the other girls minds.

On the plus side, the molting hens are starting to lay again. I cracked open a dozen eggs from a couple days ago and all but one was fertile.

Now if I can only get that monster cockerel disguised as a silkie to breed my large fowl hens. (He's almost 4 pounds!) I could use some more EEs in the laying flock.
