Sounds like a lot of chicks are on the way! Maybe you need more incubators?

Do you have a spare?

Maybe I should ask if anyone else here is itching to hatch some egg's? I have the Aloha's, the NN Aloha's, and some green one's that are an Aloha rooster over some Lakeshore Egger hen's. I could let an 18 pack go for $10.00 if you want them.

Sound like you are going to have lots of Alohas to choose from once they all hatch! You'll get to pick the best for keepers.

I went to the swap meet (the same one where I got the eggs last September) and a lady there was selling chicks. They were half grown and from the good sized red combs and the way the chicks stood I'm guessing they were pretty much all cockerels. Hoping nobody buys them expecting egg layers.

I have a plan to hatch some of @CaroleW 's Barred Holland eggs in the one I have. The spot where I have it is not big enough to line up a bunch of incubators!

Yes, you are right, and I get to help with determining if the Aloha/Lakeshore Egger ones that hatch out with the more defined eyeliner are the girl's or not. They might be a sexlink thing. I'll put a leg band band on the one's that have a darker eyeliner on those.

Those are the ones I would take to the swap meet! Buyer Beware . . .

@BlueBaby How many chickens do you have?? It seems like you have a ton!

I just had some hatching egg's delivered to me from a lady over there in Mesa this morning. I was expecting 2 dozen, but she brought me 41, so I took them all. I already have some of the egg's from my flock in the incubator, so in order for me to hatch all of these too, I'll have to pull out my second incubator. Before I do that, I thought that I would offer some of these egg's for hatching if someone else want's some.

I'm going to make a psychic prediction here--lots of chicken dinners at BlueBaby's house in 2022. Let's see how accurate I am.

I have a fly problem.
It's getting HOT (95°F today) and my hens/rooster have a 10x10 coop the floor is just the dirt that its built on (no floor bedding).
I have been hosing down the ground with water in there to keep my flock cool, but now have like a bunch of flies in there.
What can I do to keep it fly free and still cool for my chickens?
