A funny thing happened on the way to the ......Incubator/Brooder.
I am in the middle of a staggered hatch. I had chicks that hatched last Friday and I have eggs due to hatch this Friday.
I thought I had all the eggs clearly marked and physically separated in the incubator, but nature has it's ways I guess.
I woke up this morning with a chick running around my incubator!!!!
I don't know if it is 3 days late or 4 days early, but it was a nice clean hatch.
Hmmmmmm......now I wonder if I have some alzhiemer's kicking in and maybe I didn't always set on a Saturday????
Trouble is.....I don't know if I should lockdown early. I guess if I get home tonight to either a pip or a chick, I had better do something
