Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

Did the egg in the bottom left crack? What laid the really dark on on the top right? Wow, what a variety.. Are those all from your birds, or did you get eggs from elsewhere?

Yep. That's egg #2.... while turning them on Saturday, I dropped another egg on top of it, cracking it. This is my 2nd cracked egg, and I've only had 2 sets of eggs to incubate (1 under Xena).... so, incubating might not be in my cards... UGH

I got these from a member of BYC, named SIMZ. She sent me 15, 2 were discarded for being duds already, the rest are either good (look to be growing), good with movement seen, and 1 unsure (egg is too dark to see through). Our indoor incubating has been a VERY bad thing so far... having gone through 3 incubators that the auto turner broke within 24 hours, or arrived broken from Amazon. We're now in the process of building an incubator.

Not to bad but :barnie.

The second pic is the top of the hoop run showing how much piled up there.

Well the girls heard me so are grumbling wanting out. Time to shovel. The big run has no real snow protection so I gotta clear that too.

Seeing snow like this, makes me wanna switch my girls back over to dry feed.... ha!!

Ooo How exciting! I hope you get something out of them. I hate when you buy stuff and things don't work right, but maybe this time things will work for you. Are both sets at 12 days? Have you checked the ones under the broody?
