ohhh keep track of the buff blue layer!
 
So my local feed store will not take any more chickens due to the avian flu, so I put my extra cockerels on Craigslist, and someone took all of them! Same day it was awesome. Now I'm not being woken at dawn by a chorus of trumpets hahaha.
That is great! I haven't tried CL to find homes for any of mine yet. Kind of leery of CL. I always get replies saying they will send a truck t pick up my "item" and pay with a cashiers check!

Quote: That is great to know! I don't have any Milles yet but would be freaking out if I got chicks and they feathered out solid to begin with..

Got my first two New Hampshire chicks! They hatched in the night under a broody along side 3 chicks that are NH over my Chocolate Rock girl. I think the mixes are are all boys since they are black with a white head spot. But I haven't hatched any of them before so I don't know for sure. I have one more chick pipping under the broody so I hope that one hatches today while I am at work.

What a relief!
 
I set my hatch at about 6 pm the Incubator is telling me Im on Day 16 now (will be 17 tonight) When after it flips to 18 should I lockdown the eggs. (I will candle one more time then) I should not see much in the egg then right should be fairly dark throughout right?

I can't count chicks even when they are hatched. This hen has 4 d'anvers, 3 silkies, & 1 more pipping.
Thanks again @chickee! 100% viability & hatch rate for the 4 d'anvers eggs. Wow!

Awesome! I sold a couple of hens on craigslist last weekend & I was really shocked at the number of replies I got in just a few hours. There are really a lot of people out there wanting chickens right now!

When the guy called me I was like "You know that they're all boys right?" lol but he wanted them all. Said he lives on a ranch and just wants a bunch of chickens.

Our small local hardware store is doing a coop tour around our very small town on Saturday. Soo many people are getting chickenS. Could it be because of the price off eggs?
