Yes dang nab it.

Just curious as to what breed that your broody is. Mine is a NN/Breese mix, and I know that @Geckolady has a Silver Grey Dorking that is.

Sorry that you lost that one. You can have Dori help you to hatch some more of them.

I came home to find her off the nest, but still not in a great mood. Maybe she just wanted something to eat?

This is the first day since the Leghorns started laying that I haven't gotten a single egg! Maybe later today? Weird. No Dorking eggs, no Leghorn eggs. And Dora has been sitting on ceramic eggs.

maybe they're hiding their secret nest?

Welsummer this time. I have no more broody pens right now, so I have two weeks to kick the marans out of the broody pen and put her chicks in with some others. I use those pens to transition little from the brooder to ground before they go to their new homes or to the flock runs. I've also got the brooders full as I have two brooders that need to move to the broody pens and I don't have a free one yet.

Your a bigger hatch-a-holic then I am.

This time a year I usually hatch out every week. And I am hatching every month. I took a 3 month break back in October after moving to the new farm, the first break in several years. And I plan to load a couple dozen more eggs into the incubator tonight

Well, good luck with those one's too!

When these other one's that I have hatch on June 4th or 5th, I'm taking a break on hatching for the summer. I need to grow all of these out to see what I have and what will stay or go.

TRhwe good news is, after no eggs at all yesterday, so far this morning there are three.
