Last night, I candled eggs Jen sent me and at least 4 of them have little beginnings of life!!! Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!! I need at least a Red Dorking Rooster that I'll put over SG hens. That may be my only way to get a red flock for me!!!

Cool! Since I got so few from the Colored eggs, I'm going to concentrate on Red, SG & White. Then eventually Cuckoo, too.

I'm done hatching for awhile. I need to give myself a break & have hens broody in all but the Dorking pen!

Go figure - the one pen I want to go broody!

Just keep stuffing the Dorking eggs under the broodies!

I would, but I have so many chicks right now that I'm having a clearance sale!

I'm making myself crazy taking care of all of them!

Tell me about it. I have been a hatching fool, at last count I had about 70 chicks.

I have no idea wheree they all came from. I will be taking some to the local auction on Friday. I plan on getting some eggs from a friend and after that hatch I am planning on shutting the bator off for awhile. But I still have 3 batches of eggs from swaps coming. I know one is due today but I haven't heard anything on the other 2.

Geez.... I wish I only had 70! I'm thinking about asking TSC if I can bring them in this weekend to sell them!

I'm selling off pet quality chicks, growing out Dorkings, taking others to sell at a show the first week in June. Hopefully, that'll lighten my load a bit! Feed is getting outrageous! All I have in the bator now are my last batch of chicks which are due friday & some peafowl eggs that I just set.
