Araucana thread anyone?

Well, I just fired up the incubator. My bantam Araucana (Lil Girl), who's eggs are to hatch Wednesday or Thursday, got off the nest to do her thing and saw Bonita's chick, so now she is mothering that chick and won't go back to her nest! I sat her back on her nest and she stayed there for 10-15 minutes, then came back out. Her and Bonita are sitting side by side under the coop and the chick is under Lil Girl's wing. If she isn't back on the nest in half an hour, I'm going to bring the eggs in. :he

Have I mentioned these chickens are starting to drive me nuts??
My last egg didn't hatch but I know why.was fully formed.i think when my new digital humidity gauge wasn't correct.my mercury meter was correct on humidity.the chick had their feathers too. poor baby.☹️
 
I'm a little sad today. I contacted the breeder who is supposed to incubate some of their BBR eggs for me. They should be being candeled for me today.

Turns out she hasn't even set them yet. I guess when she started up her incubator, the humidity pads or something like that were all gross like.

So had to order more. Will be in sometime this week.
