@Suzyqschickens Better put a pot of coffee on so you can stay awake for the hatch.

I was like that before when I first started hatching egg's, and I lost sleep. Now whenever I do a hatch, the one's that hatch overnight when it's time for me to go to sleep are on their own until I wake up.

If you are talking about the light green ones, that's what some of mine do lay. The coloring comes from a blue egg laying Crested Cream Legbar hen that I had before with the NN rooster over her.

Great, thx. Love them.

Yay! We need pictures of the chicks!

Quick question: Ben has a big beautiful comb, and it'll be around 20 degrees tonight. Will he need vaseline on it, or will he be OK?

Panic time! It's going to get down to about 20 degrees tonight, and a friend said my chickens might freeze to death because the coop is not insulated. I put some wood shavings in the nest box area, but in the top part where the perches are, it's wire underneath and the shavings just fall through.

Edited to add: I just put some thick cardboard down and put wood shavings on top. There are two waterers, one on the top where they are at night and one underneath. I took the bottom one out until tomorrow so it won't freeze.
