Maybe so, I'm just wanting eggs. Eggs, Yeggs, Leggs, butt bullets.. etc.

Ohhhhhhhhh, tomorrow morning makes day 18 on the incubator... Weeeeeeeeee! I've candled all the eggs this morning and all had air sacs on the large end and the balance of the eggs were dark.. although they brown shells and hard to see through still managed. Hopefully this time I'll get 5 outta 5 hatches. Can't wait!

So, Roos don't breed when they are molting? I thought it was just the hens that stopped laying due to increased protein need for re-feathering.

We lost power for 5 hours last night. I had to go get the chicks outdoors and put them in boxes in my bedroom. Also wrapped up the incubator. Hopefully the eggs will still hatch so the kids will see them.

They could breed in molt but no fertility learned that as a kid

All of their energy is going into growing feathers!

Remember my power went out for 12 hours when Laura passed by. 12 hours on day 15 and all but the one that was badly cracked hatched.. Have faith! Chicks are tough, remember?
