@cactusrota So, you've caught the hatching bug too, huh?

@Michelle Guynn Sweetpea has finally settled down and stopped shaking. I guess that she realized that she will be ok here. I hope that Precious has settled in over there good for you.

Edit: You were right, Sweetpea is a talker!

I have 3 different batches of hatching egg's in the incubator, but only one of the batch's is from my own flock.

The NN roo that hatched out of a blue egg, that I penned up with the Marans and Ameraucana hoping for NN olive eggers and blue layers, died a couple days ago.

Do you know reason he died, or some idea,,,

I saw him mounting the hens the day before... then found him dead inside the coop. The pen I was keeping them in has an old dog house for them to sleep and lay eggs in, and it's pretty enclosed, so I only look inside when I'm collecting eggs. Looked like he just fell off his perch and died.

It happens. I literally watched one of my former roosters running across the yard and then suddenly stop, lay down and die. His heart just quit. He was HUGE, strong, muscular, sweet....and he just dropped dead. Sometimes the genetics just aren't there. By comparison I have other birds I've thought were "genetically challenged" and they're now over four years old.
