Change of plans

2 of the OE chicks, I'm starting to think they're all pullets. The blue one (not pictured and the partridge one definitely are)

Cersei is broody again She is getting locked in the clink Friday.

I noticed this morning when I checked the temp/humidity on my govee app that there was a humidity spike (during lockdown this usually indicates an internal pip) so of course I had to check, lol, 3 internal pips! Maybe we'll have our first WM by the time I get home from work.

 

[Auntiejessi3]

We have 1 external pip! These long days at work are killing me, I hope these turds don't all hatch tonight while I'm trying to sleep These 2 hatches are definitely my last until I go back to the office with normal hours!

 

[Auntiejessi3]

1 hatched 3 more pipped!

Seriously though, 12+ hr days, 5-6 days a week, no time for chicks unless a broody is doing all the work, lol

 

[Auntiejessi3]

Up to 4 with a 5th on its way! 5 pips in the other incubator.

Yes, it's night and day difference between a broody and the time/effort we have to put into hovering over the Bator, raising them, then comes the integration process to top it off.

I so much as smell a broody and it's...."Where's eggs...I need eggs!!"

I took the 4 Marans chicks plus the one that was still hatching and put them under Onyx last night, I'll check on them in about an hour. 2 blue wheaten OE's out in the other incubator with a bunch pipped.
